Town Hall meetings – Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits
January 14, 28 (Yuma, Phoenix)

What’s left of federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus funds for nonprofits? Who qualifies, and how can communities secure these dollars? What other funding opportunities should they work together to bring to Arizona? Join the Alliance for one of these statewide Forums. You will:

  • Hear about the successes and challenges of securing ARRA funding in your community
  • Learn how to navigate and find federal funding in collaboration with other community partners
  • Participate in dialogue about new ways to leverage and build sustainable community collaborations

The Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits, in partnership with the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust, Arizona Community Foundation, McMiles Foundation and Youngker Foundation, is convening Town Halls across Arizona to answer questions about stimulus funding and find ways to help those who do not qualify singly to look at opportunities for cooperation and partnership. 

Key to this effort is facilitating conversations that connect organizations, philanthropic partners and state and local government leaders who can leverage one another’s ideas and resources to bring in more federal funds to Arizona. The intent of these efforts is to create a collaborative dialogue that helps ensure stability within our communities during this economic crisis by leveraging ARRA and other federal resources that might not be tapped otherwise, as well as build capacity within the nonprofit community so these types of opportunities can continue to be tapped in the future. There is no cost to attend the Town Halls.
