“We’re excited to welcome our nonprofit community into our offices to not only serve as a collaborative partner, but to offer the support and resources needed so they can focus on what they do best — providing successful and life-changing programs and services to people throughout our community.”

Where is the Drop Spot located?

The Drop Spot is located within United Way’s office. The office is located on 32nd
Street and Camelback.

The space is open Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

How much does it cost?

Making the space affordable and accessible was extremely important to us. Organizations can become a member for $75 a month, per person. You can add up to 20 employees as members to utilize the space.

Can others rent the space?

14 separate conference rooms are available for any nonprofit, business or organization to use for meetings, retreats, conferences, etc. All applicants will be subject to our policies.

If you are interested, you can send a request to: information@vsuw.org

How was the space funded?

Author and philanthropist, MacKenzie Scott, made a $25 million gift to Valley of the Sun United Way in 2020. That generous gift helped us fund the co-working space and launch our five-year community initiative, Mighty Change 2026.
