Creating Mighty Change
We cannot beat today’s issues with yesterday’s thinking. Change demands bold new solutions. That’s why we’re redeploying our energy and realigning our resources and partnerships to drive Mighty Change in our community. Together, we tackle the systemic, interrelated issues holding us back creating greater opportunity and access across the Valley. We track and report our progress each year, and we actively engage our community to ensure we remain focused on the programs and solutions that will help us achieve our goals.
Here’s where we’re concentrating our efforts:
Education
Housing & Homelessness
Health
Workforce Development
Thank you, Corporate Partners!

By supporting Mighty Change, these companies send a powerful message to employees and customers: they care about the place they call home and are committed to making a difference. Taking the lead is our Million Dollar Corporate Circle, the partners that impact our community with a commitment of more than $1 million annually:
