MISSION, VISION & PHILOSOPHY

🫶🏼 Mission

ANPA exists to celebrate and recognize the invaluable contributions of Arizona’s nonprofit organizations. Through a prestigious annual gala event, we aim to uplift and honor nonprofits of all sizes, awarding funding prizes and meaningful recognition to those making a positive impact across our state. Our mission is to shine a spotlight on Arizona’s nonprofit sector through a high-visibility strategy, encouraging community support, collaboration, visibility, and sustainable growth.

🌎 Vision

ANPA envisions a thriving nonprofit sector across Arizona, where organizations of all sizes are recognized, supported, and celebrated for their impactful contributions to our communities. Through an annual awards event, we seek to elevate the work of these nonprofits, providing them with the resources, visibility, and financial support they need to sustain and grow their transformative work. ANPA is dedicated to becoming the state’s premier celebration of nonprofit excellence, fostering a stronger, more interconnected community that uplifts those who work tirelessly to make Arizona a better place.

🧠 Philosophy

At ANPA, we believe that nonprofits deserve not only to survive but to thrive. We are committed to challenging outdated views about nonprofit funding and compensation, advocating instead for a sustainable model that values both impact and operational strength. Inspired by the philosophy that doing good work should come with fair support, ANPA champions unrestricted funding, fair compensation, and strategic growth for nonprofits across Arizona. We believe that by empowering these organizations with recognition and resources, we strengthen the entire nonprofit ecosystem and create lasting, positive change in our communities.
