ASU Lodestar Center helps Arizona Republic review grants to nonprofits during Season for Sharing campaign
January 8, 2023 — Last year, nonprofits statewide shared nearly $1.8 million that was donated by Arizona Republic readers and others to its Season for Sharing campaign. Applications for Season for Sharing grants are reviewed by a group of Republic employees and representatives from the Arizona Community Foundation, the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust and ASU's Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation.
The ASU Lodestar Center was represented by Jacky Alling, the Center's Sr. Fellow for Philanthropy and formerly the Chief Philanthropy Officer for the Arizona Community Foundation.
Grants ranging from $7,500 to $40,000 were distributed to 164 organizations that support teachers and students, aid older adults and help struggling families. The funds were donated by subscribers, by the Pulliam Trust and others during the holiday season.
Since it began in 1993, Season for Sharing has raised and given away almost $72 million to Arizona nonprofits. Because The Republic pays administrative and promotional costs, 100% of donations goes back to the community.
