The Greenlee Community Fund collects charitable donations to serve the broad array of needs within Greenlee County. It is an endowment, with a portion of the returns awarded as grants to local causes every year. Because the principal is invested, the fund continues to grow, creating perpetual financial support for the communities of Greenlee County.

For more details and information on the event contact Regional Philanthropic Coordinator Colin Shannon at CShannon@azfoundation.org or 520-505-3678.
