Community Impact Grants
aps
Encompassing all of our core program areas, Community Impact Grants respond to the diverse needs in each of the communities we serve across Arizona. Additional consideration is given to programs that serve under-resourced populations.
Core Program Areas
A strong economy encourages more opportunities for Arizonans. We support Chambers of Commerce and economic development entities that foster business recruitment and retention, and sponsor events in cities and towns throughout our service territory. Programs that promote civil discourse, public safety and energy education are also welcome.
