About the Funder
The Boeing Employee Community Fund (ECF) is a charitable giving program funded entirely by contributions from Boeing employees. Through this program, Boeing employees support nonprofit organizations working to strengthen communities across the United States.
The Arizona Chapter Grantmaking Committee (CGC)—made up of Boeing employees actively engaged in their communities—reviews and awards grants to nonprofit organizations serving Arizona. Every proposal is carefully evaluated to ensure employee donations are invested in programs that create meaningful impact across the state.
All contributions to the Arizona ECF are 100% invested into local community programs that improve quality of life for Arizona residents.
