This site is intended to make it easy for you to find the answers to those questions, and more.

Inside you’ll find some basic information about many of the organizations that serve the Tucson area.  The site also features tips on giving and resources you can use to better understand how a specific organization operates.

Tragedies, like 9/11 or the wildfires that raged through Arizona in the Summer of 2002, require giving that is driven by specific, immediate needs.  These needs, while great, tend to take the focus away from organizations working to address the needs within our own community.

As a community, the values we hold dear are those that embrace every aspect of our lives - health, education, religion, social services, the arts.  Every not-for-profit organization in this community is striving to address those values and serve their population.  The national response to 9/11 in particular made one fact startlingly clear: people realized that each of us can personally make a difference in the lives of others.  That’s why Give4Tucson.com was created, to provide a way for us to make a difference in our community, today.
