Piper Trust Events
Piper Trust strives to be more than a grantmaker by convening groups to address community issues, bringing national thought leaders to meet with nonprofit executives and fostering collaboration among foundations. The Trust opened its doors in 2000 with a series of Community Conversations and continues to help set the course for the future of Maricopa County. Currently, the Trust has three ongoing event programs:
Piper 101 public information sessions are held monthly to explain the Trust’s approach to grantmaking and allow potential grantees to hear directly from Trust staff and grant guidelines and how to apply.
Piper Academies bring experts in a variety of fields to make thought-provoking presentations to nonprofit leaders of the Trust’s grantee organizations.
Picturing Maricopa is a community photography project featuring the work of 15 photographers capturing the mission and compelling stories of 15 Maricopa County nonprofit agencies.
