Cooper Receives CFSA Event Relief Grant

Aug. 29, 2020

The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona is excited to announce an additional $128,000 in COVID-19 Nonprofit Event Relief Grants to nonprofits in the Tucson community.

"Thanks to our incredibly adaptable and creative staff, we have been able to transform Cooper Center programs from in-person experiences in the desert to engaging and interactive experiences online," explains Cooper Center director Colin Waite.  "These experiences support high quality instruction in science and other subject areas across grade levels, supporting teachers, children, and families. Thank you to CFSA for this critical support for our work!"

Many nonprofit organizations in Southern Arizona organizations were forced to cancel fundraising events and programming as a result of COVID-19 and the impact of that lost revenue was significant. CFSA is proud to have provided $233,000 total in event relief funding to 41 nonprofits in Pima and Santa Cruz County.
