    logo_arizonacommunityfoundationPhoenix AZ (August 9, 2019) – The Arizona Community Foundation received official notification from Michael Thatcher, President and CEO of Charity Navigator, that ACF has been awarded the coveted 4-star rating for the ninth consecutive year. This is the highest possible rating given by Charity Navigator and validates that ACF adheres to sector best practices and executes its mission in a financially efficient way.

    Only 3% of the charities evaluated by Charity Navigator have received at least nine consecutive 4-star ratings, positioning ACF among the top 275 of those rated. As noted in Thatcher’s letter, “This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets the Arizona Community Foundation apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness.”

    Charity Navigator evaluates 9,158 charities annually and has over 11 million annual visitors to their website, more than all other charity rating groups combined. It is estimated that last year Charity Navigator influenced approximately $10 billion in charitable gifts.

    “ACF is proud to be in the very top echelon of U.S. charities rated by Charity Navigator,” said Steve Seleznow, ACF President & CEO. “This rating attests to our consistently exceptional stewardship, governance, and financial effectiveness.”

With five regional offices serving communities across Arizona, ACF is among the top 25 community foundations in the nation with more than $938 million in trust and endowment assets, and is certified under the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations. Since inception, ACF and its affiliates have awarded more than $719 million in grants, scholarships and loans to nonprofit organizations, schools, and government agencies.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
