The Center for the Future of Arizona is a nonprofit think tank based in Phoenix that seeks to unite Arizonans to create a stronger and brighter future for the state. Described as nonpartisan, it focuses on convening diverse stakeholders to address issues affecting Arizona’s longer-term prospects, and it operates with a relatively small staff. In early 2026, CFA launched the Arizona Media Institute, a statewide resource intended to support journalism by providing data and tools to inform reporting on issues of public interest. Its programmatic work extends to education and community service, evidenced by partnerships and initiatives that bring together schools and community organizations. The organization's efforts are rooted in its mission to foster collaboration among residents, educators, and other civic actors to translate ideas into concrete actions at the local level.
