Community Grants

The Scottsdale Charros, through the Charro Foundation, offers funding to qualifying local nonprofit organizations through an Annual Grant Cycle. The variety of organizations we support is as impressive as their impact on our community. The Charro Foundation emphasizes giving grants to Scottsdale-based nonprofits that work in youth, youth sports, education, Scottsdale’s western heritage, or cultural and community enrichment.
