The Flinn Foundation

The Flinn Foundation is a privately endowed grantmaking organization established in 1965 by Dr. and Mrs. Robert S. Flinn to improve the quality of life in Arizona. The Foundation, based in Phoenix, awards grants to nonprofit organizations in Arizona, primarily to improve the competitiveness of the state's biomedical research enterprise. It also supports the Flinn Scholars Program, which offers top Arizona high school graduates full-ride financial benefits to attend one of the state's public universities. In addition, the Foundation has committed resources over a five-year period to support the Maricopa Partnership for Arts and Culture, a regional effort to position arts and culture as a vital component of the growing knowledge-based economy.

The Foundation often convenes leaders in workshops and educational forums to enhance the effectiveness of its grants programs. The conferences take place in the two fully equipped meeting rooms in the Flinn Foundation Educational Conference Center. When not in use, these meeting rooms are available at no cost to Arizona's nonprofit organizations serving the fields of healthcare, education, and the arts.

The Foundation supports projects of nonprofit organizations only within Arizona or for the benefit of Arizonans. Unsolicited proposals are not accepted.
