Here are the 164 Arizona nonprofits receiving Season for Sharing grants this year

The 2021-22 Season for Sharing campaign raised nearly $1.8 million to be shared by these 164 nonprofit organizations across Arizona. Because The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com cover all promotional and administrative costs, 100% of donations go to community organizations.

Grants are given to groups that help at-risk children and families, support students and teachers and aid older adults. Season for Sharing is The Republic and azcentral's annual fundraising and grant-making initiative that was founded in 1993. Since then, more than $70 million has been raised and given away to hundreds of Arizona charities. Donations are accepted year-round.

Follow along with all of The Republic's giving-back efforts year-round on Facebook at facebook.com/seasonforsharing.
