MISSION STATEMENT

The Arizona Coyotes Foundation strives to enhance the quality of life throughout Arizona by supporting organizations and programs that promote access to education, health and wellness and economic advancement for underserved and diverse communities.

COYOTES CARE PHILANTHROPIC PRIORITIES

Education

According to the Arizona Board of Regents, educational attainment is one of Arizona's greatest social and economic challenges. Arizona Coyotes and the Arizona Coyotes Foundation are committed to helping Arizona close the education gap for underserved communities by supporting non-profit organizations and programs that prioritize educational attainment for students of color, veterans, nontraditional students and other underrepresented groups.

Health and Wellness

Guided by the notion that healthy people = healthy communities, Arizona Coyotes and the Arizona Coyotes Foundation are committed to supporting organizations and programs that promote access to resources that improve health outcomes for underserved and underinsured populations.

Economic Advancement

Arizona Coyotes and the Arizona Coyotes Foundation believe that personal economic security carries important benefits for the health and wellbeing of individuals and entire communities. We are committed to supporting organizations and programs that promote access to financial resources and facilitate economic participation for people of color, underrepresented and underemployed groups to be valuable contributors to a vibrant Arizona economy.
