Welcome to the Connected Communities Monthly Challenge!

Culture Connection AZ is launching a special monthly-giving challenge to strengthen cultural awareness, connection, and compassion across our communities. Our goal is to build $400 per month in sustaining support — and when we reach it, an anonymous donor will unlock a $5,000 gift to boost our mission even further.

Monthly giving is one of the most impactful ways to support Culture Connection AZ. Your steady contribution fuels community-led programs, cultural events, and humanities-driven projects that help people learn about one another, celebrate diverse stories, and create a more informed and interconnected Arizona.

Why monthly gifts matter

Monthly gifts help us:

Plan ahead and grow programs with confidence
Support year-round cultural events and community collaborations
Create inclusive spaces for learning, storytelling, and connection
Reach more people with programs designed by and for the community

Your impact

By joining this challenge, you’re not just helping us reach a number — you’re helping activate a transformative $5,000 gift that will directly support cultural learning, dialogue, and connection. Every monthly donor brings us one step closer to unlocking this opportunity.

Be part of building a more connected Arizona

Your monthly gift—whether $5, $10, $25, or more—helps create lasting change. Together, we can reach $400/month, unlock the $5,000 challenge gift, and uplift the diverse voices, cultures, and stories that make our community stronger.

Join the Connected Communities Monthly Challenge today — and help us unlock something extraordinary.

Our Vision:

To create a more compassionate and interconnected community in which all members are respected and valued, through programs which facilitate reflection, critical analysis, and appreciation of different cultures and the Humanities, and are accessible to all.

And to accomplish this vision through the following actions and initiatives:

Facilitate conversations through connecting people, both locally and globally, in order to break down stereotypes and miss held beliefs about other cultures and peoples.

Lift up and amplify voices that historically have been silenced so that we might hear their important messages, in order to foster a community based on equality, respect, and compassion for all peoples.

Address the isolation that many international community members experience while living in Northern Arizona.

Provide opportunities, resources, and space for independent scholars, educators, creators, and researchers, particularly in the Humanities, to continue the important work they do outside of traditional systems, such as institutions of higher education, as opportunities at these institutions diminish.

Advocate for and collaborate with other nonprofits and humanities organizations, and facilitate connections amongst different organizations, businesses, and individual community members.

Our programs have impacted the community in significant ways, including working with over 50 local artists and facilitating over 100 international connections, both virtual and in person. Over 400 people in our community attended our events and programs in 2021. We have provided opportunities to a diverse group, including indigenous / Native American, LGBTQ+, Hispanic, Black and African American, those with disabilities, veterans, and Asian American community members.
