ACF of Yuma Grants

The Arizona Community Foundation of Yuma, founded in 1993, leads, serves, and collaborates to mobilize enduring philanthropy for a better Yuma County. ACF of Yuma is an endowment organization that connects community needs to donors who have a passion for meeting those needs. Thanks to the individuals, families, and corporations who have created more than 70 philanthropic funds, ACF of Yuma invested over $1 million in grants and programs to the community last year. With assets exceeding $19 million, it has provided more than $10 million to the Yuma community since inception. ACF of Yuma has been able to increase their competitive grant-making activities in Yuma County through generous annual contributions from Sturges Charitable Trust.
