When we talk about Care Fund’s impact, its Advisory Councils in Greater Phoenix and Southern Arizona are much of the reason why! These members form direct relationships in their respective communities in support of Care Fund families. They fundraise by:

Requesting event sponsorships from industry colleagues
Starting “transactional” or payroll giving programs within their companies
Investing their time to plan and execute events
Establishing company or colleague matching programs or competitions
Inspiring others to give to Care Fund for a dollar-for-dollar tax credit up to $800
Creating lasting networks and memories in support of an incredible mission
