Arizona Community Foundation

It was Picture Day for new teammates at ACF! Between taking new headshots, we asked our newest staff members what they’re most excited about as they begin their journey with the Arizona Community Foundation. Their answers spoke to community, connection, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across Arizona.

We’re excited to welcome them to the team and share more behind-the-scenes moments from around ACF in the weeks ahead.

Hear from them in their own words and learn more about their backgrounds at azfoundation.org/about/staff

This Jewish American Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the values of community and connection that continue to guide philanthropy across Arizona.

Susan Hirshman, Director of Gift Planning at the Arizona Community Foundation, joined Gail Baer, Chief Philanthropy Officer at the Center for Jewish Philanthropy of Greater Phoenix, for a thoughtful conversation about shared values, and what it means to invest in community today and for future generations.

At ACF, Community is Our Middle Name, and conversations like this remind us how much stronger Arizona becomes when people come together in service, compassion, and shared purpose.
