October 2, 2007 – Arizona Citizens Score: Science Foundation Arizona Secures $25 Million in Private-Sector Funds (PDF)
Science Foundation Arizona (SFAz) was initiated in the spring of 2006 by the three statewide CEO groups: Flagstaff 40, Greater Phoenix Leadership, and Southern Arizona Leadership Council. This effort builds on the pioneering work done by the Flinn Foundation and their consultants, the Battelle Memorial Institute, in creating the Arizona Bioscience Roadmap.
SFAz was created as a 501(C)(3) non profit and is a unique public/private partnership. CEO groups will fund the first five years of operating costs. Public and philanthropic funds will be used for investments that are intended to deepen Arizona's scientific, engineering, and medical infrastructure that will result in transforming Arizona's economy into one that is even more innovative and enterprising.
