Environmental Sustainability Nonprofit Tour

Tuesday, October 21 | 8:00 AM – 12:30 PM | CFSA Campus

The Vital Nonprofit Sector is a key pillar of CFSA’s strategic plan, supporting mission-driven organizations that tackle pressing community challenges. To connect you with these nonprofits doing vital work in our region, we’re hitting the road — literally!

Join the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona for an exclusive tour of the UA Cooper Center for Environmental Learning and Native Seeds/SEARCH, with a brief stop at Youth On Their Own to learn about their grant-funded solar installation. You’ll meet the passionate teams on the ground, see their important work in action, and hear firsthand how your support is making a difference for our environment and community.

This is a small-group experience, designed to foster connection, insight, and inspiration.

  • The tour will start and end at CFSA. Transportation to nonprofit sites is included.
  • Tour will be outdoors, with walking, standing, and loading in-and-out of a small bus, so please wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
  • Breakfast, snacks, and water will be provided.
  • Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are encouraged.
  • For any additional questions, please contact philanthropy@cfsaz.org or call 520-770-0800.
