Supported by, and simultaneously supporting numerous nonprofit food agencies, and funded by both key institutional funders and a tremendous outpouring of grassroots support, Feeding Phoenix at the end of Fiscal Year 2023 is powered by approximately 1,500 annual volunteers, and every week of the year distributes 12 to 20 tons of nutritionally balanced food to over 450 low-income, food-insecure households. Since its inception in April 2020, Feeding Phoenix has filled a significant gap in community food security. We strive to serve everyone in our communities experiencing food insecurity while preserving dignity and providing access without undue burden of personal information. With our highly approachable program, we routinely observe that most of our community attendees only engage with Feeding Phoenix during extreme need, and periodically come and go from Feeding Phoenix based on personal circumstance. Consequently we serve a much larger number of community members over a calendar year, and estimate 6,500 unique households annually have encounters with food insecurity where they turn to us and find help in Feeding Phoenix. The program stands out for its focus on nutrition, optimizing food bank resources through direct procurement and unique food producer partnerships, and through a balance of activities, manages to shape hunger relief foods that are often of dubious nutrition into nutritionally well-rounded food boxes. Feeding Phoenix includes a great deal of transportation for donated and procured foods and supplies, transportation of some goods for partners distribution sites, a significant amount of food packaging, and the operational logistics of running a 40-60 volunteer, 425+ household distribution event every Saturday. Originating from a youth-led initiative, Feeding Phoenix continues to be significantly youth powered by kids in service, and is a dynamic hub for community engagement and youth service programs, playing a pivotal role in the Foundation's broader community-building efforts. Finally, Feeding Phoenix is also a critical on-ramp in our community to building relationships with individual community members, working through relationships to strengthen household capacity and youth outcomes, and creating on-ramps to improved food and nutrition security, with consequent improvements in nutritional health and chronic disease reduction for the household. 312554 Fresh in the Neighborhood: Fresh in the Neighborhood (FITN) addresses food inequity and open space disparities in low-income communities, including through long term systemic work on structural and policy issues related to the creation and sustenance of vibrant community spaces in our community. This program transforms underutilized open spaces into vibrant, food-rich community areas, often in partnership with local schools. Beyond creating recreational and food production spaces, Fresh in the Neighborhood empowers families towards greater food and financial security through SNAP education and enrollment, local farmers' market engagement, and urban agricultural producer training. Envisioned as a multisite program, it aims to connect neighborhoods, foster youth-activated spaces, and stimulate economic activity around food and culinary arts. Current projects include urban agriculture initiatives at David Crockett Elementary School, Acre 51 at Ascension Church of Phoenix, an emergent less-abled community member outdoor food space (Thrive & Grow) adjacent to Larry C Kennedy School, and the support of a school site collegiate-quality soccer field installation to foster broad community connections around Loma Linda School in partnership with Christ Church of the Valley, among other projects. 108547 Securing Nutrition: Securing Nutrition extends food and nutrition security work beyond Feeding Phoenix activities of addressing urgent, immediate needs, and focuses upon nutritional inequities among low-income families. This program, driven by Community Health Workers, offers Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program support, educational nutrition sessions using evidence based frameworks, and medical food boxes designed to support community members suffering from nutritionally-linked chronic diseases in partnership with medical institutions. A key future initiative is FrescaZona, a social enterprise aiming to provide local, nutritious food access. This venture will include a SNAP customer retail outlet, medical food box distribution, and subsidized delivery services for community members with limited transportation. Marketing and visibility efforts are also integral to Securing Nutrition, and may lead to additional social enterprise business ventures, aiming to shift community perceptions towards nutritional health and increase food security. 81938 0 Community Works: Community Works is a comprehensive program focused on activating disadvantaged neighborhoods to enhance youth outcomes and community vibrancy. It involves resident practitioners who lead middle school students in character development and community service activities. These initiatives have led to significant community impacts, including food distribution and neighborhood improvement projects. The program's success is rooted in strong partnerships with organizations like Arizona State University and Arizona Trauma Institute, which contribute to our evolving knowledge base for youth development. Despite being foundational to our mission, Community Works - and youth development and wellness programs in general - face significant ongoing challenges in securing dedicated funding. 12067 0 Direct Support of Creighton School District: As a supporting foundation for Creighton School District, we assist in various capacities, including fiduciary support for school-connected organizations and PTO-in-a-box services. This program enhances school engagement and recognizes the District's role in community development. Our support extends to fundraising for Junior Ambassador programs, mini-grants for classroom activities, community garden development for school sites, school district event funding (Teacher welcome back type events), funding for extracurricular programs, and pass through funding for school-based organizations or aspects of the District itself (such as the Family Resource Center). Principally, the activities of this program are all aimed at fostering active, school-engaged communities. 94005 1648148 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 9 0 false 19 false false false false false false false false false false true false false false X 8 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false true true true false false AZ X Jackie Johnson 6028883770 3219 E Camelback Rd 376 Phoenix AZ 85018 David Zook Secretary 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Boles President/Chairman 40.0 X X 58442 0 879 Sean Hannafin Vice-President 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Amy McSheffrey Director 1.0 X 0 0 0 Erik Faleski Director 1.0 X 0 0 0 Luis Heredia Director 1.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Maerowitz Director 1.0 X 0 0 0 Rosie Murray Director 1.0 X 0 0 0 58442 0 879 0 false false false 0 698046 1699249 955998 2397295 0 0 0 0 0 3347 3347 0 0 0 0 Insurance Claim 900099 36881 36881 Credit Card Rewards 900099 75 75 2 0 0 2 36958 2437600 0 0 40305 76227 58755 7777 9695 217946 166794 23619 27533 20982 17369 757 2856 606 435 171 2678 468 2210 36863 36863 152793 140937 11856 0 39 39 48762 44039 4723 33415 21703 10554 1158 125964 123191 2773 64176 64176 2151 916 1235 27514 15673 9624 2217 26837 25881 956 9461 7788 1673 Food 944345 944345 Other 16165 15639 526 0 0 0 0 1806924 1648148 78454 80322 515323 682738 0 0 155890 475554 0 12193 0 0 0 0 10000 0 0 0 0 11488 168621 32954 107170 135667 0 119609 0 0 0 0 0 0 788383 1437249 19312 39416 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 138532 133245 0 0 157844 172661 X 630539 477511 0 787077 0 0 0 0 0 0 630539 1264588 788383 1437249 630676 3373 0 X true X false true false X 245045 226649 942748 1671854 2397295 5483591 0 0 0 0 245045 226649 942748 1671854 2397295 5483591 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5483591 1018 3347 4365 0 0 0 0 1018 3347 4365 0 0 0 0 0 36958 36958 245045 226649 942748 1672872 2437600 5524914 0.9925 0.9982 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Other Income DESCRIPTION - OTHER INCOME, COLUMN A - , COLUMN B - , COLUMN C - , COLUMN D - , COLUMN E - 36958.0, COLUMN F - 36958.0; RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 168621 32954 135667 135667 X X true Kominote Community Consulting LLC 2505 N Fremont Blvd Flagstaff AZ 86001 Grant Writing false 0 36863 -36863 0 36863 -36863 AZ X 2 26797 Market value X 4 727826 Cost X Cleaning Products 1 175500 Market value X Equipment 1 25875 NONE 0 false true false Schedule M, Part I Explanations of reporting method for number of contributions Food inventory - The number of contributions represent the number of contributions received, not the number of items donated.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1 Creighton Community Foundation's (CCF) core program "Community Works" leverages neighborhood schools to support vibrant communities in the poorest parts of urban phoenix, where neighborhoods suffer from poverty driven disadvantage and disengagement. in these neighborhoods, today's children will spend 91% of their lives between 0 and 18 years of age outside school hallways. Vibrant supportive communities today have a determinative influence on child outcomes, and tomorrow's neighborhoods. What does it take to change an isolated, disengaged community into one filled with adult supportive relationships and a community of hope and inspiration? We leverage best practices in community transformation, centered around relocation, redistribution, and reconciliation by embedding a school-connected worker in our poorest neighborhoods, living 7x24 in residence, working in child and community relationship, and building bridges with key community partners and resources. The change is here already.
