About Executive Council Charities and Executive Council 70

Established as the volunteer force supporting the activities of Executive Council Charities, Executive Council 70 is a group of working professionals dedicated to helping our community’s youth through a series of fundraising events and initiatives. Originally formed in 1972, the organization now includes 70 Active Members and 300 Life Members, who have collectively raised more than $15 million in the past five years.

Executive Council Charities is a 501(c)(3) Arizona nonprofit corporation focused on improving the lives of youth in our community. Its mission is to provide grants to programs and nonprofit organizations that help young people in Arizona overcome adversity and reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.

Funds are raised through signature events such as The Original Taste, Holiday Classic, and Cantina, along with direct contributions to the annual campaign, Support Arizona Youth.

In just the past year, Executive Council Charities has supported over 125 charities, distributing more than $2.9 million. With the support of our community and numerous dedicated partners, we continue to meet and exceed our charitable goals.
