PHOENIX, AZ (May 6, 2026) — OneAZ Credit Union is proud to announce the 2026 Community Impact Grant recipients, investing in nonprofits across Arizona that are creating meaningful change and expanding access to opportunity in their communities.

“Our goal is to partner with organizations that are deeply connected to the communities they serve and are making a meaningful, measurable impact,” said Robert Raygoza, Executive Director of the OneAZ Community Foundation. “These grants are about more than funding—they’re about building relationships, empowering local leaders, and helping communities thrive for the long term.” 

"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,” says Hector M. Treto, Executive Director of RAIL CDC in Mesa. 

Through the Community Impact Grants program, OneAZ Credit Union continues to invest in organizations that are creating lasting change and expanding access to opportunities across Arizona. By supporting nonprofits that address critical community needs, OneAZ remains committed to strengthening the well-being of individuals, families, and communities statewide. 

The OneAZ Community Foundation’s Community Impact Grants are focused on supporting nonprofit programs across three key areas: Economic Empowerment & Entrepreneurship, Community Vitality, and Developing Future Leaders. Through these focus areas, the program advances financial inclusion, supports small business growth, and promotes financial literacy, while also strengthening communities by improving access to essential services and fostering meaningful connections. Additionally, the grants help equip the next generation with the tools and opportunities needed to lead, ensuring long-term impact across Arizona communities.
