Phoenix Foundation Funder Map 2026
TLDR
Phoenix's foundation landscape is smaller and more concentrated than coastal metros, which makes precise targeting more important — not less. This map pulls 990-PF distributions for Maricopa County's largest funders so your prospect list reflects actual giving.
Why This Map Exists
Maricopa County hosts roughly 17,000 registered nonprofits and a foundation community where the top 20 funders distribute the bulk of regional giving. Because the funder pool is concentrated, an off-target LOI consumes a disproportionate share of your prospecting capacity. Precision matters more here than in larger metros.
This map shows what each foundation has actually funded over the last three years, paired with stated priorities, so you spend LOI capacity where it has a real chance of converting.
