"This grant from the OneAZ Community Foundation allows RAIL CDC to turn financial instability into forward movement by supporting the coaching and credit-building necessary for residents to stabilize cash flow. This partnership is about helping our community stay rooted and move toward opportunity without displacement."
Hector M. Treto Executive Director
RAIL CDC
"The OneAZ Community Foundation grant provides life-changing benefits by funding critical repairs, such as restoring roofs and HVAC systems, for neighbors in need. We are deeply grateful for this investment in our community’s vitality and the safe living environments it helps us provide."
Scott Hathcock CEO
Moonshot
"The long-reaching impact of the OneAZ Community Foundation grant will provide life-changing benefits for local residents for years to come. These benefits come in many forms--installation of AC/Heating, restoration of plumbing, accessibility to clean water, repair of dilapidated roofs, and so much more. It's hard to imagine seeing rain water pour through your bedroom ceiling or living without functioning toilet facilities for even one day, yet there are neighbors among us that live with such circumstances day-after-day with no financial means to remedy the problem. The Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity is grateful that the OneAZ Community Foundation grant will help provide essential repairs to restore safe, clean, and secure living environments to residents who need it most."
Brenda Redel Executive Director
Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity
"Support from the OneAZ Community Foundation allows us to provide safe beds and trauma-informed care, telling every woman who walks through our doors that she is valued. By meeting these immediate needs, OneAZ is giving women the chance to begin again with dignity and hope."
Mary Jeanne Chavez CEO
Sister José Women’s Center
"This grant from the OneAZ Community Foundation allows us to provide dairy—one of our most requested staples—to ensure families and children have the foundational nutrition they deserve. This partnership is a vital step in building a healthier, more food-secure community for our neighbors."
