Each year in our Season for Sharing campaign, we ask Arizona to give back to our great community, and each year, you don’t disappoint.

Your contributions — in addition to funds from matching partners the Gannett Foundation, BillingTree, the Nina Mason Pulliam Trust, 12News and The Arizona Republic — totaled $2,730,000 to be awarded to 144 community organizations, and, for that, we want to say thank you.

Contributions are matched 50 cents on the dollar until donations reach $1 million, and The Republic covers all administrative costs, so 100 percent of all donations go directly to local nonprofits.
