TeamUp Grant

Launched in 2021, The Center for Healthy Nonprofits’ TeamUp program provides a streamlined way to match nonprofits with a diverse pool of southern Arizona consulting professionals.

TeamUp provides nonprofits with up to 20 hours of fully underwritten consulting/coaching. Moving forward, the program will be dedicated to focusing support on nonprofits at key points in their lifecycle.

To ensure we can provide meaningful support and engagement, we will approve a maximum of 9 projects per cycle, with a total of 2 cycles per year.

TeamUp applications are open through February 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM Arizona Time!
