The Charro Foundation

The Charro Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that was formed in 1985 to promote education through scholarships and other programming, and to promote youth activities, sports, and cultural enrichment in the Scottsdale community. The Foundation proudly supports this mission by developing programming through partnerships and collaboration with Scottsdale area community organizations.

Through the Charros’ education initiatives, we recognize and award outstanding students and teachers. We also support our local nonprofits through our annual grant cycle. The variety of organizations we support is as impressive as their impact in our community.
