Note: When two bids are placed for the same amount, the bid placed first based on the timestamp wins. Timestamps are set when the initial bid is placed, for auto bids this is when a maximum was set not when the system prompted the bid to win.

Our Need and Impact

​

College Bound AZ has continued operating and even been on the front lines of the COVID-19 health crisis.  We delivered laptop computers to students locked down in their homes during the COVID pandemic for them to continue the college admissions process.  We have incurred close to $80,000 in unbudgeted expenses for increased staffing, conducting enhanced sanitizing, purchasing PPE and other new safety procedures.  Going forward, College Bound AZ is facing another large shortfall in its next fiscal year's operating budget due to this crisis and the high need for family education support. 

 

We hope you will consider making a monetary donation today.

Did you know.....

​

**Since 2010, College Bound AZ has helped more than 3,000 disadvantaged youth with education services that will end the cycle of poverty.  

 

**Last year, College Bound AZ ensured 54 low-income students received four years paid tuition and fees to attend Arizona State University, equaling $4.5 million in financial awards. Our students include those from the foster care system and special needs students.

​

**Last year, we became a Certified Autism Center to better serve our students with disabilities.  We connect families with college resources that will help a student with special needs thrive.  10% of our student population have special needs.  Training is renewed every year.

 

**Each year we provide more than 1,500 pounds of food and hygiene items to community college students. Students and young families benefit from our programs that help keep students in college until they can finish.  About 500 students each month are served by our Fueling Minds with Heart program. 

 

**Last year, underrepresented students in our 8th grade program performed 250 hours of community service collectively.  Research shows that an education rife with experiences builds resiliency for college and college completion. Community service, field trips, grade point average management, and career selection are captured on a resume for each student and becomes a framework for high school career and college readiness activities. 

 

**91 cents of every dollar we raise goes directly into program services.  The money you donate stays local and helps local people.

 

All of these accomplishments would not be possible without your support.  Thank you in advance for helping us build lives each and every day.
