This year, the Foundation will award $5,000 to 60 nonprofit organizations that positively impact communities served by OneAZ. The grant will help 10 more organizations than last year, with funds awarded totaling $300,000.

We are proud to announce that this year well be able to assist nonprofits in the communities we serve at our highest level ever, starting with an increase in the amount were pledging for our Community Impact Grant program. Our members helped raise these funds through their OneAZ debit card swipes and now that money is being invested in their communities to support organizations that enhance the well-being of Arizonas families and neighborhoods, said Foundation Chairperson Sam Wheeler.

Grant applications opened on March 1, 2023. Applications are due by April 21, 2023.

To be eligible to receive a grant, nonprofits must be registered as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization with a program or initiative that aligns with one of the Foundations Five Pillars of Support:

Funding for the Community Impact Grant program is made possible due in large part to OneAZ members debit card use. Each time a member swipes their OneAZ debit card, one cent is donated to the OneAZ Community Foundation. Since 2016, the OneAZ Community Foundation has provided more than $1 million in grants and funding to Arizona nonprofit organizations through this funding and other donations.
