Philanthropic Capital Advances Responsible Growth, Economic and Community Development

Bank of America giving $300,000 in grants to local nonprofits

Business News | 18 hours ago | AZ Business Magazine

Bank of America today announced $300,000 in economic development grants, to be distributed to 11 nonprofits that help stimulate local business and neighborhood stability. Nonprofits receiving the funds provide services ranging from affordable housing and community development resources to small business support, and environmental sustainability.

“Advancing economic and community development initiatives strengthens the vibrancy of Phoenix where people want to live, work and do business, and is part of our approach to responsible growth,” said Benito Almanza, president at Bank of America.  “By deploying philanthropic capital to nonprofits that are helping to ensure all neighborhoods and households be part of the exciting economic growth that is occurring across the Valley, we can work towards long-term and sustainable economic success.”

Among the nonprofits receiving grants is Phoenix Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), which will use the funding for comprehensive place-based revitalization projects that makes housing more accessible and inclusive in downtown, along parts of the light rail corridor and on a regional scale.                                         

“Programs, like LISC, that ensure working families, low-income households and small businesses at risk of displacement can continue to have opportunities as downtown Phoenix and other economic corridors continue expanding,” said Terry Benelli, Phoenix LISC Executive Director. “Since its inception in 1992, LISC Phoenix has worked with grassroots organizations to address community problems in low-income neighborhoods.” 

Other organizations receiving grants include:

Habitat for Humanity of Central Arizona

National Audubon Society / Arizona Audubon

One-in-Ten, Inc.

ACCION,

Arizona Housing Coalition

Chicanos Por La Causa
Trellis

A PHILANTHROPIST’S

GUIDE TO THE FUTURE

Presented by the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation

Yes, philanthropy is indeed changing. And it’s changing in five distinct ways:

• The role of philanthropy is shifting, from one that focuses on capital to one that focuses on competence.
• The motivation to work in philanthropy is shifting, from passion alone to a mixture of passion and pragmatism.
• The approach to problem-solving is shifting, from staging interventions to pursuing innovations.
• The relationships between social impact leaders are shifting, from coordination among peers to full-on collaboration.
• The scope of work within organizations is shifting, from quick fixes to long-term involvement.

Mesa man sues police department, city over alleged brutality

PHOENIX – "A Valley man who was arrested last year filed a civil lawsuit for brutality against the Mesa Police Department, alleging he was viciously beaten for no reason and choked until he lost consciousness.
Christian Ivan Topete was arrested in October 2017 and charged with two counts of aggravated assault on an officer and one count each of resisting arrest, assault, criminal damage and unlawful imprisonment. According to the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on Tuesday, police went to Topete’s apartment after a neighbor reported hearing an argument. . . The suit said Topete and Karina Lopez had been arguing about their son, but there was no physical altercation or complaint by Lopez.
The police booking report, however, said Topete was seen hitting Lopez in the face, and she said she feared for her safety.
It also said Topete failed to obey commands and tried to pull away, which led to the physical altercation. The report also indicated that he was under the influence of either alcohol or drugs.
“In the course of the incident, officers made contact with Christian Topete. While attempting to detain him, a use-of-force encounter occurred,” Mesa Police Detective Nik Rasheta said in a statement.
