Impact Investment
On the checkout page of the application, you will have the option to add on an Impact Investment. This is a deeper investment that helps underwrite the cost of delivering sector-wide capacity building, expands access to underserved communities, and ensures that every nonprofit—regardless of size or budget—can participate in the education, advocacy, and support AZ Impact for Good offers.
Why Choose the Impact Investment?
The Impact Investment is designed for philanthropic partners who want to extend their influence beyond their own portfolios—investing in the infrastructure that supports a resilient, equitable, and high-performing nonprofit sector statewide.
Your additional investment:
- Reduces access barriers for grassroots and rural organizations
- Funds scholarships and subsidized memberships for nonprofits facing financial hardship
- Underwrites statewide educational programming that is offered at no cost to nonprofit participants
- Sustains inclusive public policy work that elevates the collective voice of the sector
- Supports regional capacity-building efforts, such as the Southern Arizona Impact Collective
By selecting the Impact Investment, you are directly funding the ecosystem that enables Arizona’s nonprofit organizations to grow, adapt, and lead.
For the purposes of completing Forms 990 and 990-pf, all membership investments more than $620 minimum may reasonably be reported as a grant rather than an administrative cost. Please consult your tax professional when filing.
