CFSA’s LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund is an annual participant of Arizona Gives Day, an initiative of our colleagues at AZ Impact For Good, which has raised nearly $47 million dollars for nonprofits in-state since 2013. At a time of widespread uncertainty, your gift can have an immense impact on nonprofits doing critical work throughout Southern Arizona building more inclusive communities for all.
Here’s just a few wonderful examples of such stories, showing what your gift can do across the region for our underserved neighbors. Just ask Mary O’Donoghue, Executive Director of Southern Arizona Senior Pride:
“By offering crucial operational funding, the Alliance Fund helps Senior Pride provide essential social and supportive programs. A 32% increase in individual interactions last year highlights the growing needs of older LGBTQI+ adults in Southern Arizona. With the Alliance Fund’s support, we can expand our services—benefiting not only those we serve but also strengthening the broader community and fostering a more inclusive environment for all.”
Aissa Huerta, Director of La Línea Art Studio, shares why your support matters:
“This is an unprecedented opportunity for our organization and LGBTQ+ community members in Santa Cruz County. Receiving this funding means continued LGBTQ+ programming is possible, providing both a container and a community of support. We believe this could be life-saving for many and are extremely grateful to create this offering for our artists and the wider spectrum of queer individuals who reside here—so we may all thrive.”
Take it from Vikó Velasquez, Crew Member of Kindred Connections Collective:
“We can’t express our gratitude enough for your support of our Radical Roots Retreat. This funding will have a huge impact in allowing us to cover the majority of costs… and provide an event centered in QTBIPOC wellness and joy.”
