What a special day in Sedona! On April 22, Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona proudly hosted the 25th Annual Spirit of Philanthropy Celebration, bringing together more than 200 community leaders, donors, nonprofit partners, and supporters at Agave of Sedona.
Together, we honored our 2026 Spirit of Philanthropy award recipients and celebrated the nonprofit organizations whose work continues to strengthen the region we call home.
Guests heard inspiring remarks from Board Chair Val Wilson, President and CEO Anna María Chávez, and Regional Director Chelsea Buck-Leilich, watched a powerful video highlighting local nonprofits, and enjoyed a locally crafted lunch and live music before recognizing six outstanding individuals and organizations—from Nonprofit of the Year to Philanthropist of the Year—for their generosity and lasting impact.
Community is our middle name. And moments like this show exactly why.
