6 Ways Your Business Can Support the Nonprofit Community for Arizona Gives Day
by Jennifer Purcell, SVP & Director of Development, Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits
Arizona Gives is celebrating its 10th anniversary of the Arizona Gives Day event on April 5–6 this year, with the “early giving” period starting March 15. Since 2013, the online giving platform AZGives.org has raised more than $30 million for nonprofit organizations across the state to benefit Arizona communities.
As a business professional, you may be wondering how your business, your staff or even your clients can get involved to supporting the nonprofit (aka social) sector on Arizona Gives Day. Here are six ways you can do this:
1. Spread the Word. Encourage your employees and/ or your clients to donate on AZGives.org from March 15 to April 6 through your various communication channels — newsletters, emails and social media. On social, make it even easier by simply sharing content from our Facebook, Instagram or Twitter social channels (@azgives) or via LinkedIn (@aznonprofits).
2. Match Your Employee Donations. Take it one step further and commit to an Employee Giving Page on AZGives.org. Your business will be assigned a code for employees to enter when donating, which will allow that donation to show up on an administrative page where your business can then match employee donations at a percentage or amount of your choosing.
3. Create a Fundraiser Page for a Specific Nonprofit or Nonprofits. Businesses, just like individuals, can create fundraiser pages for one or more specific nonprofits of your choosing on AZGives.org. Once these are created, you can communicate with your employees and/or clients to help collectively reach your fundraising goal. Your business may even decide to pledge a certain dollar amount to these organizations as well.
4. Provide a Matching Grant for a Specific Nonprofit. Perhaps your business has a participating nonprofit near and dear to it OR a cause area that is
important to it. Businesses may want to reach out to a participating nonprofit found on AZGives.org and provide a set matching grant amount for every dollar donated on AZGives.org to that organization. Matching grants can encourage individuals to donate, essentially allowing them to feel as if they are “doubling” their donation.
5. Provide In-Kind Advertising for Arizona Gives. Donating advertising space (digital, print, radio, TV, outdoor) from anywhere in the state can assist the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits with promoting Arizona Gives to the public and help the public understand the importance and impact philanthropy has on our nonprofits and communities they serve.
6. Support the Arizona Gives Program Financially. Businesses can support and help sustain Arizona Gives by sponsoring the program and, in return, receiving marketing and branding recognition throughout the year. There are also newsletter advertising opportunities if sponsorship is not an option.
Getting involved in Arizona Gives is easy! If one or any of these options is of interest, you can find more details at www.azgives.org/businesses or reach out to me directly.
As a reminder, donations are accepted on the AZGives. org platform year-round and fundraiser pages can be created at any time. The Arizona Gives program is managed by the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and Arizona Grantmakers Forum.
About the 2022 Giving Guide
We are pleased to offer the list of Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits members who are participating in Arizona Gives Day coming up on April 5 & 6, 2022. In Business Magazine is proud to create this Giving Guide to provide business owners and the more than 36,000 subscribers of the magazine information on local nonprofits that they may work with to better our community. Our goal is to give these groups exposure for a full month prior to Arizona Gives Day so that they may realize additional benefit among the business community.
How to Give: We urge you, as a company or as an individual, to give on Arizona Gives Day. By participating on this day, you connect or even reconnect with a nonprofit to support its cause and become a true supporter of all that is important in our community.
Go Beyond Gives Day: We ask that you connect with your nonprofit, and we challenge you to choose one or more organizations to work with in this coming year. By volunteering time, talent and treasure, your organization is likely to gain in more ways that you might expect.
Thank you for giving back to our community!
Connecting business with our community
ARIZONA
More Than a Bank: A Community Partner
by Jennifer Purcell, SVP & Director of Development, Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits
FirstBank has been the presenting sponsor for the Arizona Gives program since its inception. Its focus on “banking for good” is one it takes seriously, literally even, and it’s evident in its partnership to this program over the past 10 years and its ongoing commitment to giving both its time and financial resources to all types of causes.
Arizona Gives is a statewide online giving program that promotes philanthropy and awareness about the work the nonprofit sector does for our Arizona community. The program is run by the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits, the statewide nonprofit association that unites, strengthens and advances Arizona nonprofits, and Arizona Grantmakers Forum, the statewide association for the philanthropic network to connect, educate and advocate for greater impact.
With FirstBank’s commitment, the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and Arizona Grantmakers Forum, co-hosts of the Arizona Gives program, have helped raise more than $30 million for Arizona nonprofits since 2013.
COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY
FirstBank’s commitment to charitable giving is a key part of its business philosophy. The company heavily invests at the local level, believing nonprofit organizations are integral to Arizona’s social fabric, and that the bank is only as strong as the community it operates in. FirstBank impacts thousands of Arizona nonprofits through its support of Arizona Gives and other charitable giving activities:
• Online giving: FirstBank and the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits started Arizona Gives Day, a 24-hour online giving initiative, in 2013. The bank has invested well over $1 million to spur donations and has provided an incalculable amount of time, talent and resources to promote the campaign. These efforts helped Arizona Gives Day raise a record $7.1 million to 982 organizations in 2021 alone.
• Donations: FirstBank has donated more than $4 million to Arizona nonprofits since 2007. Many of these donations are tied to organizations and causes FirstBank employees are passionate about. The bank donates an average of $4 million annually to nonprofits throughout their trade areas and has contributed nearly $75 million in nonprofit contributions since 2000.
An unassuming philosophy and mission of “banking for good,” advocated from the top down, has helped the bank reach record growth while making a substantial impact on the communities it serves through programs like Arizona Gives.
To drive interest in donations for Arizona Gives Day, the bank runs a “Give it Forward” campaign each year — where FirstBankers have posed as grocery store baggers, restaurant servers, veterinarian technicians, gas station attendants and more — to pay the tab for unsuspecting community members, encouraging them to “Give it Forward” to their favorite Arizona Gives Day charity.
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, FirstBank launched a Support Local initiative to prop up businesses and recognize frontline workers. FirstBank surprised essential workers with free meals at several local grocery stores and delivered meals to homeless families being served by a local nonprofit, as well as to the nonprofit’s staff.
CULTURE OF PHILANTHROPY
From direct donations and donation campaigns to employee involvement, philanthropy is a key component to FirstBank’s culture. During bi-annual reviews, volunteerism and community leadership are factored into officers’ overall job performance score. Officers are encouraged to join nonprofit committees and boards. Many of the bank’s senior leaders and presidents in Arizona lead by example — in some instances joining the boards of multiple nonprofits.
The bank has an Employee Giving Program, where employees can elect to donate a small portion of their paycheck to charity. The company’s Employee Volunteer Program also gives employees two days PTO to devote time to organizations they care about, meaning the company pays employees to support charitable causes. FirstBank employees log thousands of hours each year, donating their time to nonprofit organizations.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
FirstBank, one of the nation’s largest privately held banks, began providing banking services in 1963. It started from humble beginnings — in a 50-foot trailer coined the “check wagon” — and has grown to more than $27 billion in assets and 100 branch locations across Arizona, Colorado, and California. Since 2000, FirstBank has been recognized as a leader in corporate philanthropy, contributing nearly $75 million and thousands of volunteer hours. Additionally, a large portion of its stock is owned by management and employees, giving all employees a financial stake in the bank’s success. FirstBank employs more than 100 people at its 14 Arizona branches, led by Market Presidents Joel Johnson and Humphrey Shin. FirstBank’s corporate headquarters is located in Lakewood, Colo.

Spotlight On: Arizona Foundation for Women
At Arizona Foundation for Women, we envision an Arizona where all women are safe, healthy and economically independent. Since 1995, we have worked to advance the status of Arizona’s women through a holistic strategy of research, programming, advocacy and philanthropy.
When a woman’s power and potential are respected, children and families are healthier, economies are stronger and communities prosper. Yet in our state, one in three women has been the victim of violence at home, one in five doesn’t have access to healthcare and more than 16% are living in poverty. At Arizona Foundation for Women, we amplify every woman’s safety, health and financial needs so she can break free from the challenges, fear and bias that confine her.
Our work is needed now more than ever. COVID-19 has set women’s progress back decades with sharp rises in domestic violence incidents and women’s unemployment rates and delays in screening and treatment for women’s health issues.
Unlike agencies that focus on one aspect of a woman’s well-being, the Foundation supports a wide range of programs around the state so the unique needs of every woman in Arizona are met.
Your support helps women and their families break the cycle of poverty, eliminate abuse and gain economic self-sufficiency.

Aunt Rita’s Foundation
Aunt Rita’s Foundation, in its current form, has been pursuing since 2005 its mission to end HIV in Arizona but has a rich history dating back to the 1980s in the beginning years of the epidemic. Starting out as a bake-sale fundraiser to provide relief for those living with and dying from AIDS to becoming the leading philanthropy nonprofit organization in Arizona, we deliver funding for critical programs in our at-risk communities and are central in the fight against rising HIV infections in our state.
With our basic principle of “By the Community and For the Community,” we collaborate with all Arizona HIV service organizations philanthropically supporting our critical services,
while forging unique partnerships with state and local governments as well as private corporations. Through our initiatives, we have been providing funding for HIV services and have granted more than $2,250,000 in support of critical HIV education, prevention and treatment programs throughout Arizona.
As the connector of the HIV community in our state, we manage programs that “fill in the gaps” where it comes to HIV-related support. This includes free at-home test kit distribution, advocacy, HIV & Aging programs, a Positive Empowerment Youth Retreat, and a Diversity and Cultural Council to assist minority populations who are newly diagnosed and advise on best practices to lower incidence rates in our highest-risk communities.
Aunt Rita’s Foundation also provides Arizonans with benefit assistance, linkage to HIV prevention, treatment providers and connections to basic needs such as nutrition support and housing — the social determinants of health that affect individuals’ health outcomes and quality of life.
Your support of Aunt Rita’s Foundation will ensure we continue to operate these programs critical to ending the HIV epidemic in our great state!

Diana Gregory Outreach Services
Founded in 2010 with a mission to “enrich lives through healthy eating.” Diana Gregory Outreach Services and Gregory’s Fresh Market address food insecurity issues resulting from poverty. The organization works to restore meaningful food access and eliminate health disparities in under-resourced communities. DGOS and GFM accomplish this by providing seniors and veterans access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
During the pandemic, DGOS and GFM, an essential service, pivoted to a pre-packaged produce delivery program to ensure the continual, monthly delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables to participants.
Our refrigerated vehicles deliver the produce fresh and cold. And for some seniors and veterans, their bag of fresh fruits and vegetables is the difference between having a meal and starving.
The organization’s purpose is to ensure that no senior or veteran goes to bed hungry. Annually, more than 15,000 seniors and veterans are provided with access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
There is no charge for these services and volunteers are the backbone. DGOS and GFM could not do this valuable work without the support of donors and partners. Produce needs have far exceeded what we alone can provide. We are grateful to each volunteer, donor and sponsor.

New Pathways for Youth
At New Pathways for Youth, we’re awakening the full human potential to bring about individual and community transformation.
In the communities we serve, youth experience poverty and four times the adversity of their peers. Beyond material insecurities, these challenges interrupt a youth’s sense of their potential, disconnecting them from what’s true: that each of us has immeasurable, inherent value — and the future holds unlimited possibilities. New Pathways reconnects our youth to that truth. Through a holistic development program and 1:1 mentoring within community groups, we guide our youth as they discover renewed outlooks on life and realize unwritten possibilities for their futures.
We are set apart by our research-based, holistic approach and the change it enables our youth to create in their lives and communities. Our program isn’t limited to transforming the world around us, but is equally focused on transforming the heart, mind and soul. When reconnected to the truth of unlimited possibilities, our youth are unstoppable, growing into their full human potential.
When youth are provided a safe, nurturing environment and are tended to with care, their capacity for growth is powerful. Every youth receives individualized action planning, supporting them as they meet their short and long-term goals, along with connections to critical resources for personal well-being,
ongoing development and daily necessities that support the youth’s entire family, ranging from housing assistance to food security to emergency relief, providing essential stability. This is complemented by one-on-one support from an adult mentor within community groups in order to build stable, nurturing, life-changing relationships defined by mutual growth.
The New Pathways for Youth program is research-based and proven to generate remarkable outcomes for the youth we serve, from greater high school graduation rates to increased personal wellness and prevention of harmful behaviors. Nobody goes it alone. Every youth takes root in and is supported by the entire New Pathways community, discovering healthier, more conscious ways of thinking and taking transformative steps together.
Our program ripens the soil for transformation that awakens the full human potential, preparing youth to take on their futures with true readiness and resilience. The future is not defined by the past; instead of taking on a predetermined fate, our youth write their own story. New Pathways nurtures the seed, but the youth is the one who blossoms.
When our youth experience the support and personal development that our program offers, they feel unstoppable — and that spirit extends beyond the self to impact their family, community and the world around them.

The Arizona Pet Project keeps pets with the people who love and need them most by connecting vulnerable community members and families in crisis with services and resources to prevent the unnecessary surrender of their beloved companions.
The Valley’s only organization solely focused on bridging the gap between human services and animal welfare, The Arizona Pet Project keeps thousands of pets out of shelters each year, and home with the people who love them.
Thanks to our supporters, families can access emergency and preventive veterinary care, temporary boarding, housing assistance, pet food and supplies, and individualized case management.
In 2021, The Arizona Pet Project opened the community’s first pet support center in South Phoenix to increase access to bilingual information and culturally competent care.
And as a crisis responder, our team ensured thousands of pets in rural and indigenous communities had enough to eat by delivering more than 2 million pounds of dog and cat food across the State of Arizona at the height of the pandemic.
This year, we’re aiming higher and are expanding our programs to include a special focus on military veterans and our unhoused neighbors! Will you join us this Giving Tuesday in protecting families by providing care for them and their pets?
