Ideal Applicant
A local Arizona nonprofit working on technology access, school or youth-focused education programs, or direct computer refurbishment and distribution with demonstrated operational impact.
Good Fit
- • Located in Arizona or providing substantial services in Arizona.
- • Programs that refurbish or distribute computers, or run digital access/training for schools and community groups.
- • Requests for operating support or program funding in the typical grant-size band (many grants cluster in the $5K–$50K range; median around $14K in the latest year).
- • Capacity to show direct service outcomes and partnerships with schools or local nonprofits.
Geography
Giving is heavily state-focused: in the latest year 95% of dollars went to organizations in the foundation's state, and almost all grant recipients were in that state with a small out-of-state presence.
Recipient Variety
The funder supported a broad set of independent recipients each year (15 distinct recipients in the latest year, and two dozen-plus distinct grantees in earlier years), indicating a wide recipient mix despite some dollar concentration among the largest awards.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover—10 of 15 recipients in the latest year were new—suggesting new entrants can be funded, but no formal application process was found and some dollars concentrate in repeat larger grantees, so openness is plausible but not fully transparent.
