Pat Parris spearheads “The Giving Project – Doing Well, by Doing Good” in partnership with the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona.

The first week of each month Pat presents a new nonprofit organization that is making a positive impact in our community and asks you to consider making a donation. Even $5 or $10 will make a difference for those in need. In addition, the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona is matching the first $500 in donations each month. If you cannot give, you can still support our nonprofit community by sharing information about the project.

Thank you to our generous viewers for supporting our October Giving Project with Santa Cruz Catholic Church! With your help, we raised $3,200—thanks to your generosity, that money will help the 105-year-old historic church with necessary repairs and an upgrade to its electrical wiring.
