  Each year the Pinal County Board of Supervisors sets aside $100,000 for each district to grant to local nonprofit organizations for the benefit of Pinal County residents. The County staff reviews the grant applications and scores them based on a rubric, rating each organization with a score of 1 to 5 in several different categories.

  This year District 1 Supervisor Kevin Cavanaugh awarded $8,000 (8%) towards education projects, $20,000 (20%) towards Economic Development projects, and $39,500 (39.5%) towards projects relating to food, shelter, and social services. Supervisor Cavanaugh reserved approximately one-third of the funds for requests anticipated during the balance of the fiscal year.

  The organizations receiving funds in District One include:

• Boyce Thompson Arboretum

• Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition

• Local First Arizona

• Winkelman Resource Management Center

• Hope Women’s Center

• Pinal Hispanic Council

• Hope International Food Pantry

• Horizon Health

• Salvation Army

• HOHP
