On January 13, nearly 200 partners came together for our annual MC2026 Scorecard report event, part of our promise to provide community-level data of our collective efforts to achieve Mighty Change throughout Maricopa County.
The data in this year’s report indicated, many of the metrics are progressing too slowly toward our community-level goals, and in some cases, moving in the wrong direction. We heard from Dr. Sybil Francis with Center for Future of Arizona on how Arizonans agree these goals are shared aspirations. We also heard from community partners, Betsy Hargrove from Avondale Elementary School District, Tomás León from Equality Health Foundation, Alison Rapping from Arouet, and Tamara Wright Bridwell from U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness on bright spots of programs making an impact, resulting in successes we can all learn from .
No single factor or entity is responsible for our community’s outcomes and we know that it is only by working together that we can solve for some of the Valley’s greatest challenges in education, housing, health and workforce development. We remain committed to strengthening collaboration with all of you—our vital nonprofit partners, corporate community, foundations, policymakers and individual supporters across Maricopa County.
