Program / Project | Description |
---|---|
Capacity Building ATLAS/AGILE | ATLAS, symbolic of strength and endurance in Greek mythology, is a Piper Trust project designed to strengthen the organizational and operational structure of a select group of nonprofits. ATLAS nonprofits assess lifecycle stages and develop comprehensive plans for building organizational capacity. AGILE supports building the operational capacity and organizational resilience of a Trust-selected set of mid-sized grantee arts organizations. By employing “a capacity + capitalization” approach to organizational resilience, AGILE aims to build an organization’s capacity and capital to weather the unexpected while effectively carrying out their mission. |
Early Literacy / Read On Arizona | Read On Arizona is a statewide, public/private collaboration of organizations committed to building an early literacy system that improves language and literacy outcomes for Arizona’s children, birth through age eight—delivering the right program at the right time for every child. Piper Trust is a founding partner of the collaborative. The Trust established and supports the Arizona Literacy Director who works in partnership with the Arizona Department of Education, Head Start State Collaboration Office, First Things First, and other local philanthropic partners on statewide efforts to improve early childhood literacy. |
Children's Vision Health/Eyes On Learning | Eyes On Learning is a collaborative effort that strengthens, expands, and advances children’s vision health. The effort works to help ensure all children have effective vision screening and the appropriate follow-up services that are essential to good health and learning success. The Trust established and supports the Arizona Children’s Screening Director who works in partnership with Read On Arizona and other state, local, and national organizations dedicated to vision health and learning success for all Arizona children. |
Maricopa Family Support Alliance | Maricopa Family Support Alliance grew out of Piper Trust’s commitment to explore the strength of coalition building among organizations serving the complex social needs of families. The Alliance is now an established and growing network of more than 70 nonprofits and public agencies, ranging from healthcare to housing. By working collectively, agencies can better serve families in need and families can access the social services they need through a coordinated approach. |
Piper Academies | Piper Academies are designed specifically for nonprofit leaders and provide a range of personal and organizational development opportunities. Led by nationally renowned experts and thought leaders, Academies are developed around a significant theme each year (e.g., from strengthening operating principles to understanding “employees as purpose-drivers”), and are presented in various formats for individuals or teams. Many Piper Academies result in follow-on training for staff and volunteer leaders or funding opportunities. |
Piper Fellows | The Piper Fellows Program provides individual Maricopa County social profit leaders with the financial resources to participate in a comprehensive professional development plan that allows them to reach, retool, and revitalize. Fellows are also eligible to apply for an Organizational Enhancement Award to support a project that addresses an opportunity or challenge facing the organization. Up to six Piper Fellows are selected annually via a competitive application process. |
