Arizona Together for Impact

WHO WE ARE

Nonprofits often grapple with consistently securing resources to meet the increased demand for their services. Now more than ever, Arizona’s nonprofits and funders need to consider how to maximize impact and unite around a common purpose. One opportunity is through long-term, formal collaborations.

Recognizing this opportunity, the philanthropic sector created Arizona Together for Impact: a collaborative of funders aligned to help support nonprofits across Arizona pursue their missions through sustained collaborations with other organizations.

Demonstrating our own commitment to collaboration, we are a part of the national Sustained Collaboration Network (SCN), a national network of ten organizations committed to increasing philanthropic support of and investment in sustained collaboration as a meaningful form of nonprofit capacity building.

WHY WE DO IT

Arizona Together for Impact
Helps Nonprofits
Maximize Their Impact

Sustained collaboration is a powerful tool that can make organizations stronger, but we know there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. We believe in helping nonprofits realize their missions —
in a way that is thoughtful, community-centered, and mission-focused. Collaboration can help organizations achieve greater impact in three main ways:

Financial

Sustained collaboration can produce economies of scale, stabilization of financial positions or advancement of fundraising opportunities.

Programmatic

Expansion of programs geographically or with greater market penetration can help increase program impact in the community.

Capacity

Finding and deploying resources can be more cost effective when pursued with an adjacent organization.
