The Making Action Possible (MAP) Dashboard launched in December 2014 as the product of a partnership between the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, the Southern Arizona Leadership Council, and The University of Arizona. Subsequently, the Pima Association of Governments joined the partnership in 2016 and Sun Corridor Inc. joined in 2018. Sun Corridor Inc. merged with the Tucson Metro Chamber to become The Chamber of Southern Arizona in 2025. The partners play a key role in providing guidance on the direction of the MAP Dashboard through the advisory board, fundraising, and community engagement. The mission of the MAP Dashboard is to measurably improve Southern Arizona through data driven collective civic action and education. Below you will find information pertaining to each partner.
The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona (CFSA) provides expertise and skilled guidance to help donors give back in ways that are aligned with their charitable and financial goals. Donors establish charitable funds that join hundreds of other funds under one organizational roof and every year, portions of each fund are used to make grants, scholarships, and awards in accordance with each donor’s intentions. The Board of Trustees oversees the Foundation’s growing community endowment and ensures that donors’ intentions are honored now and forever. For more information, please visit www.cfsaz.org.
