Welcome
The Foothills Community Foundation (FCF) was formed in 1985 at a dining room table somewhere in Carefree, Arizona. Several residents, seeing needs in the community, opened their hearts and checkbooks to address local issues. FCF received 501(c)(3) non-profit status in January 1986. Early projects included water conservation and establishing volunteer-led tutorial programs in the schools. From these initial building blocks emerged an organization with a mission of “enhancing the quality of life in the Desert Foothills Community.”
Over the past twenty-two years, the FCF has grown and prospered and now addresses community needs with twelve programs under our three divisions: Education, Community Service and Culture. A foundation of the community, FCF’s members and volunteers number almost 1,000 persons.
