Our Impact

Since our founding, CFA has been committed to bringing Arizonans together to build a stronger and brighter future for our state. Today, as then, the central question before us remains: How can Arizona quickly and continually provide sustained economic prosperity, unmatched quality of life, and meaningful opportunity to the people who live here?

To answer this question, we listen to Arizonans. What matters to them? What are their priorities for the future? What would success look like? With this data guiding us, we provide impartial analyses and collaborative leadership to identify long-term solutions to the most challenging issues of our time. As a self-defined “do tank," we take promising ideas and put them into action to realize our shared vision of success for the future of Arizona.
