Founded in 2004, the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits is a trusted resource and advocate for Arizona’s 20,000 nonprofit organizations. It is comprised of more than 1,000 members across the state, both nonprofits and those in the community who support them. The Alliance is dedicated to furthering the common interests of Arizona’s nonprofit community.
Their work is aimed at strengthening Arizona’s nonprofit community as a whole, while also providing services and programs that directly help individual organizations succeed. They do this through advocacy, education, information, connection and resources, which are tailored specifically for nonprofits, their staff, their board and their volunteers.
The Alliance’s mission is to unite, strengthen and advance Arizona’s nonprofit sector. They envision an Arizona where all nonprofits are valued, empowered and thriving. By working with government to advocate for nonprofits, providing resources to help nonprofits save money, and creating opportunities for nonprofits to connect and grow, the Alliance strives to promote healthy, vibrant communities.
Jennifer Purcell oversees the Alliance’s community outreach efforts including capacity building workshops, educational webinars, annual conference, partnership agreements and fundraising for the organization. She is also responsible for managing the Arizona Gives program and Arizona Gives Day, a 24-hour online statewide giving campaign held in April each year.
