Philanthropy United

Ivan has been an entrepreneur since he was seven years old, selling candy to his friends in Argentina.  As he grew older, he continued his business efforts, and in 2014, not speaking a word of English, he brought his passion for helping to America. His intention to help led him to the discovery of a unique approach to stabilize families in their own homes; this is when Philanthroinvesting, now spanning the globe in 16 countries, was born.  Ivan’s zeal to “Philanthroinvest'' drove his 2014 creation of Equity & Help®, a turn-key social-impact real estate investing program resulting in the Inc. 500 for two years: in 2019 at #128 in the nation, rising to #83 in 2020; and in 2020 ranking #3 in Florida, with a 3-year growth of 3,920%. 

Right now, he is establishing his intent to empower families to secure the lives they want without excessive financial burden and is on a mission to make homeownership possible for US families that would otherwise be lifelong renters. He and his team do so while turning exceptional profits for their Real Estate Philanthroinvestors, the first Philanthroinvestors, Inc.-licensed firm. Ivan is intent on doing good by doing well like he has proven can be done in real estate for 10 other industries in need of improvement. Driven by the need for pivotal action towards saving Earth’s water, Ivan Anz joined OriginClear’s Board of Advisors to attract high net worth attention to the company’s exceptional technology and vision, and to help clear the way to NASDAQ listing.

Alisa’s Angels scholarship recipients support efforts as unique and varied as each of them, for example:

• Started a nonprofit to build schools in Africa
• Started a Tucson Chapter for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
• Started a nonprofit to oppose bullying in middle schools
• Served as youth leaders on state and local government civic boards
• Tutored elementary school students in STEM, civics, English and many other areas

The class of 2020 volunteered more than 10,000 hours helping the homeless, serving veterans, serving in their faith communities, volunteering with literacy programs, starting nonprofits, and so much more.

All of the students are leaders in their communities and schools. Whether it's providing blankets and coats to people in need, tutoring and mentoring younger students, teaching sign language, or distributing bread to the hungry, these youth are making an impact in their communities.

WORKING TOGETHER. SAVING LIVES.

Gen Justice works with local leaders and national partners to create state and federal policies impacting hundreds of thousands of abandoned and abused children.

HOW IT HAPPENS

True change is neither simple nor swift – that’s why we’re here.

Too many American children suffer brutality and death as a result of weak laws or poor compliance with good laws. We believe children should be safely and quickly reunified with family when possible, foster care should be temporary, and adoption, when necessary, should proceed without delay.  

OUR MISSION

Gen Justice works to mend the child protection system and bring a permanent end to innocent children enduring violence.

OUR STORY

CEO Darcy Olsen has two decades of success in shaping laws including The Right To Try. But she considers the ten infants she fostered her most important work. After seeing the injustices facing abused kids, Olsen decided she needed to act. She founded Gen Justice in honor of these children including her foster “Baby A” who lived just 56 days.

Making A Better World for Children with PFD

Feeding Matters is the first organization in the world uniting families, healthcare professionals, and the broader community to improve the system of care for children with pediatric feeding disorder through advocacy, education, support, and research.

We are Advocates, Educators, Researchers, and Policy Influencers

Established in 2006, Feeding Matters is the first organization in the world uniting the concerns of families with the field’s leading advocates, experts, and allied healthcare professionals to improve the system of care for pediatric feeding disorder through advocacy, education, support, and research.

Defined as impaired oral intake that is not age-appropriate, and is associated with medical, nutritional, feeding skill, and/or psychosocial dysfunction, pediatric feeding disorder is estimated to affect more than 1 in 37 children under the age of 5 in the United States1.

For these children, eating, drinking, and swallowing are painful and frightening – ultimately affecting their behavioral, physical, and emotional development. Yet, there is no functional system of care for pediatric feeding disorder locally, nationally, or internationally.

The concept for The Outdoor Experience 4 All was conceived in late 2007. Although there are charitable organizations whose focus is offering hunts to terminally ill children, they tend to focus on hunts that require extensive travel and time commitments. We recognized that there were many families of children with life-threatening illnesses who could not take an extended hunt. Many of these families have other children, and long for an experience that could involve the entire household or even extended family. Due to the prohibitive cost and time involved with interstate travel, we realized that our focused needed to be on Arizona families.

After many months of planning we were able to put our first hunt together in September of 2008. Not knowing how it would go we decided for our first hunt to call on a youth we already knew who would qualify for a big game tag transfer. We had hunted with Thomas Widenhofer during a 2007 elk hunt and we had a strong relationship with his family so he was a natural choice. Thomas agreed to be our first hunter and with many months of planning he arrived with the hopes of harvesting an Arizona antelope. Within the first hour of the hunt Thomas had harvested a nice antelope that measured 84 4/8. The sense of accomplishment felt by everyone involved lit a fire and The Outdoor Experience 4 All was off and running!

From September of 2008 till the end of the year we were able to do one antelope hunt, four deer hunts, and five elk hunts, and took two children with autism fishing. After the fishing trip we realized that we should not limit this organization just to youths who have been diagnosed with a life threatening illness, but also offer an outdoor experience to those who have disabilities, non-life threatening illnesses, and the children of our fallen heroes. So in the fall of 2008 we became officially incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)3.

The mission of the Outdoor Experience 4 All (OE4A) is to change lives one adventure at a time. Everyone who participates in an OE4A adventure, including volunteers, sponsors, parents, and siblings leaves camp with a new outlook on life!

Change Starts Locally.

To strengthen Arizona’s local economy, first we need to build a community that feels accountable for it.

Strong, inclusive economies begin with hometown pride. 

We are passionate and committed to introducing locals and newcomers to our state’s amazing culture. A culture that is best represented by our communities, local businesses, and their unique experiences. 

We are on a mission to build equitable systems that earn that hometown pride and create a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable Arizona economy.

Founded in 2009, Local First Arizona is a nonprofit organization committed to community and economic development throughout Arizona. Our work connects people, locally-owned businesses, and communities for meaningful actions that build a diverse, inclusive and prosperous Arizona economy, including:

• Educating consumers about the interconnectedness of the economy -- how and where they spend matters.
• Training small businesses to be more resilient, while helping our larger partners tell their story as champions of Arizona.
• Creating programs and events that make it fun and easy to discover local businesses and buy local.
• Targeting systems of inequity and building prosperity for all Arizonans by proactively identifying comprehensive solutions and taking action.
