About Azura

Our country has spent over $20 Trillion on treating the symptoms of poverty since 1965. Yet, we have seen minimal improvement in the number of impoverished people. Despite our good intentions, helping people is more complicated than it looks.

Azura exists to change this fact by attacking the root causes of poverty and homelessness with creative and innovative solutions. We want all Arizonans to have a bright future.

While we have been operating under the name “Azura” for a relatively short period of time, Azura is an Arizona nonprofit that can trace our organizational roots back over 100 years. We are recognized by the IRS as 501(C)(3) organization (EIN #93-2097814). As such, contributions to Azura are tax deductible.

Our administrative offices are located in Mesa but our initiatives have physical locations in Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa.

We have six initiatives that attack the issues of poverty from various angles. Our work provides support for foster and kinship families, housing and programming for foster kids who are aging out of the foster care system, help for veterans in crisis, literacy tutoring for kids in Title One schools, financial literacy training for adults, and scholarships for kids in poverty who show academic promise.
