Who Does Your Gift Help?

Through the generosity of special people like you, since 1995, the Foundation has been able to provide over $1 Million in financial support to educational, cultural and humanitarian non-profit organizations in the Fountain Hills area.

Below is a list of local organizations that have received grants through the Fountain Hills Community Foundation (formerly the Sundridge Foundation) since 1996.                                                                   

2006 Founding Sponsor - Junior Achievement

The Fountain Hills Community Foundation is proud to be the Founding Sponsor of Junior Achievement in Fountain Hills.  Starting in 2006, for a three year period, the Foundation has pledged a total of $75,000 to establish Junior Achievement in our public schools.

The three year grant will ensure the successful start of a new adventure in learning in Fountain Hills.

Junior Achievement uses hands-on experiences to help young people understand the economics of life.

More then 700 Fountain Hills students in kindergarten through eighth grade will participate in Junior Achievement, at no cost to the parents.

Junior Achievement’s goal is to prepare children with the economic skills and tools they will need to be financially self-sufficient adults.

Each child who participates will receive real world training in business, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, citizenship, ethics and character, career development and economics.
