The Arizona First Responders Foundation has been awarded a $15,000 grant from Arizona Financial Foundation’s Local Causes Visa debit card program, supporting the foundation’s mission to promote the well-being of first responders through activity, awareness and action.
Founded by retired Scottsdale firefighter Adam Shuckhart, the foundation was created to eliminate the stigma around mental health in the fire and police community and to provide access to critical education, treatment and training resources for those who serve, according to a press release.
The organization was among 18 nonprofits statewide selected through Arizona Financial Foundation’s Local Causes grant cycle, which has now distributed more than $800,000 in grants to nearly 100 nonprofits since launching in 2020.
