The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona is  accepting grant applications in support of programs that assist refugees, veterans, and students through the Phil and Carol Lyons Family Fund, a donor-advised fund of CFSA, and the Lyons Children's Refugee Assistance Program, a field of interest fund of CFSA.

Through the Lyons Children's Refugee Assistance Program, nonprofits in Tucson, Arizona, will be awarded grants of up to $5,000 in support of programs/projects that serve refugees children and families and help them address their most urgent needs, for example: behavioral and health support, K-12 refugee education, medical case management, employment opportunities, emergency housing/rental support, and aid in gaining citizenship.

In addition, the Phil and Carol Lyons Family Fund will award grants of up to $5,000 to nonprofits in Tucson and Flagstaff, in support of programs/projects that help students and adults (especially from minority backgrounds, first-generation, traditionally underrepresented populations, economically disadvantaged, and single mothers) develop career advancement skills and employment opportunities and become self-sufficient, create economic opportunity and succeed in life; and programs/projects that help veterans and their families access services they need to thrive.
