Unlock Arizona's Potential with CFA

For over two decades, CFA has stood as a beacon of innovation and progress in Arizona. Our mission is clear: to bring Arizonans together to create a stronger and brighter future for our state. With The Arizona We Want as our north star, we center Arizonans and what matters most to them in everything we do to address our state's most pressing issues.

The Time is Now

Now, more than ever, Arizona stands at a pivotal moment. Our state faces challenges that present not just obstacles but opportunities—to define and achieve a prosperous future for all. This decisive phase in our state's history calls for action that is both bold and strategic, driven by a commitment to Arizonans' shared interests.

Strategic Action

CFA was established on a simple yet profound truth: we are stronger when we come together around
shared interests and a vision for our future. Our extensive research shows that Arizonans share core public values and agree more than disagree on the most important issues. This understanding forms the bedrock of our strategy, guiding CFA's efforts to influence public dialogue and policy discussions, engage communities, and drive impactful action focused on shared priorities.

To accelerate CFA’s impact, our Building Arizona’s Bright Future Together campaign aims to mobilize resources and energize Arizonans across all sectors—business, government, education, philanthropy, and beyond. The support will expand and amplify our efforts to broaden awareness and engage more leaders and communities.

Invest in Arizona's Future

Actively shape the state's trajectory by joining forces with CFA. Wherever your passion lies, whether it be in education, health care, civic health–or other critical areas important to Arizona’s future–your investment is an opportunity to align individual support with a larger strategy to build The Arizona We Want.
