Women’s Foundation of Southern Arizona: The foundation has awarded $10,000 in funding between two Arizona nonprofits from the Harriet Silverman Small Grants Fund.

The Arivaca Action Center grant will enhance a wellness program targeting Arivaca’s senior population, including funding for a facilitator and equipment. The funding will also support the early learning center, which provides early childhood education for Arivaca families.
The Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports award will support the expansion of their Living and Thriving program and their growing population of women and girls involved with adaptive sports.
