Helping the Community
At the AFCCA Foundation for Children, we’re proud to help individual students whenever we can. But we also know there are incredible organizations across Arizona doing this work every day, with strong programs that support children’s physical and mental health, along with essential needs that protect their well-being. Our mission is simple: to ensure every Arizona child has access to physical and mental health care, along with the essential needs that support their well-being, so they can learn, grow and thrive.
We love partnering with organizations that share this commitment. When we collaborate, our impact grows and more students get the care they deserve.
If you are part of an organization — or know one — whose programs align with our mission, we would love to connect. Please reach out to info@azfoundationforchildren.org
