Sedona AZ (August 8, 2017) – The Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona and its collaborative partners have awarded more than $228,000 in grants through their annual competitive grants process to 47 nonprofit organizations serving Sedona and the Verde Valley.
Thanks to the generosity of local donors, an anonymous family foundation, the Arizona Community Foundation, and local funding partner Northern Arizona Healthcare Foundation, this year’s collaborative funding enabled the Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona to greatly expand the amount invested in the local community.
A grant panel of local leaders guides the Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona’s competitive grants process. Members of the local Board of Advisors collaborate with community members, volunteering their time and expertise to support a rigorous grant review and recommendation process to ensure funds are distributed in alignment with the community’s greatest needs.
