WHAT’s BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE?

Instituto launched the Building for the Future Project (BFTF) in may 2023, a three-part effort to inform the specific needs OF THE CIVIC-ENGAGEMENT NONPROFIT sector IN ARIZONA and provide actionable recommendations for investors. Our three strategies include: research, a Seed-fund grant, and a robust technical assistance effort.
