Building a thriving Southern Arizona through philanthropy.

Just as the resilient saguaro weathers droughts and storms while offering shelter to the desert’s inhabitants, the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona  strives to support our region when it matters most.

Since 1980, the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona (CFSA) has connected donors, nonprofits, and community partners to create a more vibrant and equitable Southern Arizona. By serving as a vital link between philanthropy and the community’s evolving needs, CFSA provides funding, training, and collaborative opportunities that drive meaningful change. CFSA empowers individuals, families, and businesses to make a lasting impact through trust-based philanthropy, nonprofit capacity-building, and community convenings.
