Two organizations we stand behind.
Over the years we've concentrated our philanthropy around two Phoenix-area causes. Each one reflects something we believe in, stable opportunities for local kids and consistent, hands-on involvement from the people who give.
Valley Guardians
Valley Guardians unites Arizona business leaders and community members to open doors for Arizona kids, through scholarships, mentorship, medical care, and direct financial support. The organization runs on a zero-dollar operating budget, which means every dollar raised goes straight to the children it serves.
To date, Valley Guardians has invested more than $5M directly in kids' futures, reaching over 8,500 children across the Valley. Programs span trade-school and college scholarships, a multi-year Executive Leadership Coaching Program for at-risk students, a Foster Youth Program, and holiday initiatives that deliver 20,000 pounds of food, 8,000 Christmas presents, and 4,800 backpacks each year to the Valley's poorest neighborhoods.
“Every child deserves a chance, and in a community our size, showing up consistently is the thing that actually moves the needle.”
Fore The Kids
Fore The Kids is a young professionals' nonprofit delivering financial support to local children's organizations across the greater Phoenix area. Their focus is enhancing communal values and furthering child development, ensuring Valley youth reach their full potential.
In just seven years, FTK has impacted more than 5,000 children and donated over $875,000 to Valley nonprofits, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley. Their flagship annual golf tournament brings together members of the Phoenix business community for a single day that funds programs for an entire year.
“The mission of FTK is to provide financial support to children development organizations to ensure the youth of the greater Phoenix area reach their full potential.”
