COVID-19 has caused a great deal of uncertainty among many nonprofits across the state. Your important work is being made much more difficult by this unprecedented pandemic, which is why we are working with our community partners to ensure emergency funds are readily available to help provide for the urgent needs of Arizonans during these times. We have joined numerous Arizona businesses and individuals to support the following funds that can provide immediate assistance:

• The Arizona Community Foundation’s COVID19 Community Response Fund
• The Arizona Together Fund, launched by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey

We have provided immediate support to these funds as they have the infrastructure in place to respond quickly to emerging community needs. Guidelines, eligibility requirements and online applications for each fund can be found in the links above. In addition, our online grant application remains open to partners whose work falls within APS’s giving guidelines. Due to the high volume of applications being submitted, our responses may take a little longer than normal. We appreciate your patience as we move requests through our evaluation process.

Thank you for supporting our community members who need our help the most. Together, we will get through this challenging time.
