Our Mission Statement

The Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust seeks to enhance and strengthen the quality of life for the people in Maricopa County through support of healthcare and medical research, children, older adults, arts and culture, education and religious organizations.

We seek to enhance and strengthen the quality of life for the people of Maricopa County by:

  • Making strategic investments in nonprofit organizations whose work improves the lives of Maricopa County residents, especially at three critical life stages: early childhood, adolescence and older adulthood.
  • Investing in strategic collaborations and large-scale initiatives that hold the promise for long-term, communitywide impact.
  • Helping nonprofits through education as well as grantmaking to move to a new level of effectiveness and stability.
  • Being integrally entwined in the fabric of this community not only as a grantmaker but a community leader committed to fostering constructive change.
