TEMPE – The Tempe Diablos are excited to announce that the application for the 2023 grant process is now open, where charitable organizations helping to enhance Tempe and surrounding neighborhoods can apply to receive funding ranging from $1,000 to $100,000. The money is a product of fundraising efforts by the group of community leaders and is distributed through Tempe Diablos Charities, the 501(c)(3) arm of the program which handles grant dispensation.
The grant application can be accessed at http://www.tempediabloscharities.org and the completed application must be received online by Jan. 15, 2023.
“Doing our part and giving back to the community is our main priority as Tempe Diablos and it is an honor to award our grant recipients each year,†said Mike DiDomenico, Tempe Diablos President. “We are looking forward to working with more organizations next year and celebrating those who continue to make a positive impact throughout the Valley.â€
This past October, the Tempe Diablos hosted the inaugural Celebrate Giving Grant Event at Arizona Heritage Center to honor the more than 45 Valley organizations that received a portion of the $366,900 in grants that the group raised in 2022.
