TUCSON, Ariz. – The Sundt Foundation awarded grants to nine Southern Arizona nonprofits during its fourth quarter giving round.
The Foundation awards grants each quarter to local charities that support disadvantaged children and families. Nonprofits are selected through an application process and reviewed by a committee of Sundt employee-owners.
“Through the Sundt Foundation, our employee-owners have helped many organizations achieve their mission to help the less fortunate in Southern Arizona,” said Rick Buchanan, Sundt Foundation Tucson Board Member. “We’re glad to be able to help provide relief to many wonderful organizations.”
Third-quarter grants include:
- Angel Heart Pajama Project
- Assistance League of Tucson, Inc.
- YMCA of Southern Arizona
- Kind Home, Inc.
- Native Music Coalition
- Project Linus Tucson
- Tucson Police Officers Charitable Foundation
- Tu Nidito Children and Family Services
- Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Arizona
Sundt’s purpose is to build environments where its clients, employee-owners and communities prosper. The Sundt Foundation was established in 1999 as a way for employee-owners of Sundt Construction to give back to the communities in which they live and work. The organization is funded primarily by contributions from Sundt employees, which are matched by the company. To date, the Foundation has awarded more than $11 million in donations. Nonprofit organizations interested in applying for a grant may call (480) 293-3000 or visit www.sundtfoundation.org for more information. Sundt has offices in Tempe and Tucson, Arizona; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Antonio, Dallas and El Paso, Texas; and Sacramento, San Diego and Irvine, California.
