Arizona Community Foundation of Cochise

Bisbee may have started as a mining town, but today, its greatest treasure is its people. Jennifer Perry, ACF’s VP of Regional Impact, recently joined The Bisbee Foundation at the historic Serbian Hall to celebrate 20 years of partnership with the Arizona Community Foundation. As an all-volunteer foundation, The Bisbee Foundation reflects the heart of rural philanthropy, growing from a local vision into a force for good with more than $1 million in endowed assets supporting the community.

From awarding $72,000 in scholarships to 26 local students this year to helping preserve Evergreen Cemetery, Bisbee continues to show what it means when community takes care of its own. Community is our middle name, and Bisbee lives that spirit every day.

Thank you to The Bisbee Foundation for 20 years of heart, hustle, and lasting impact.

From the red rocks of Flagstaff to the far corners of the state—our Arizona Community Foundation family was back together! 🏠🌵

Our annual Board of Advisors meeting in Phoenix was a beautiful reminder of the power of partnership. We spent the day diving into the incredible work happening across the state, like the Habitat for Humanity Starter Home project, and brainstorming ways to bring more fundholders into the fold of giving.

One of our favorite moments? A "story bank" activity where we shared real-life examples of how ACF is mobilizing support and building deep trust in the communities we serve.

Our regions are breaking records, but the real win is the local impact driven by our amazing volunteers. We are so grateful for this network!
