Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits

The Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits is a unifying association formed in 2004 to advance the common interests of more than 20,000 nonprofits in the Grand Canyon State. We are a statewide organization of, by, and for all of Arizona’s nonprofits.

The name “Alliance” is strategic. More than a mere “coalition” or an “association,” an “alliance” involves collective action for a purpose: “an association to further the common interests of the members.” The Alliance is an action-oriented group of partners across the state – both nonprofits and those in the community who support them – dedicated to furthering the common interests of Arizona’s nonprofits.

The Alliance does this by serving, supporting, protecting, and promoting the nonprofit sector. We:

• Serve the Arizona Nonprofit sector by providing quality information, training, and networking opportunities;
• Support the nonprofit sector by offering savings through group-buying discount programs;
• Protect the nonprofit sector by representing the nonprofit sector at the Arizona Legislature, state agencies that regulate nonprofits, and many other local arenas of decision making across the state; and
• Promote the nonprofit sector by projecting a collective voice to the public about the sector’s essential contributions and significant challenges in our communities.
