CAPSTONE CONTRIBUTES

Matt Gardner during Capstone Contributes event

Capstone Contributes is the philanthropic arm of Capstone Realty Professionals. Once a year, we host a community day of service that brings together our team, clients, friends, and family to support local causes. It’s a feel-good way to reconnect with one another while making a real difference for our Phoenix neighbors.

IMPACT AT A GLANCE

Six Years, $140,000 Raised — The Ripple Effect

Sustained momentum: Since 2019, our community has rallied six years in a row, raising $140,000 to fuel H.E.L.P. NoW AZ’s Snack Bagz program.

Business‑to‑business awareness: Each event has pulled in more local companies—clients, vendor partners, and neighboring businesses—who’ve joined as sponsors, matched donations, or fielded volunteer teams. The result is a growing network of Valley businesses leaning in to serve.

Lives touched: With tens of thousands of Snack Bagz assembled and delivered year after year, the impact shows up in small, immediate wins—kids with something to eat today, and words of affirmation to help them stay positive during tough stretches.

Why it works: Simple, hands‑on projects; transparent impact; and a welcoming, family‑friendly vibe that keeps volunteers coming back—often bringing new faces with them.

WHY DO WE SUPPORT H.E.L.P?

We need your help…Maricopa County revealed 88,000 children are displaced or at risk of homelessness.

In our own community, there are children who go to bed hungry every night. They have enough challenges that come from being homeless, being hungry shouldn’t have to be one too.

For many of these children, the only meals they receive are through their school’s breakfast and/or lunch programs.

This holiday season, Capstone Contributes is partnering with the nonprofit, H.E.L.P. ( Homeless Engagement Lift Partnership), a 501(c)3 corporation with the federal government and a registered non-profit corporation in good standing with the Arizona Corporation Commission.  Tax ID: 47-1110728

Homeless Engagement Lift Partnership also is part of The AZ tax Credit and is a Qualifying Charitable Organization (QCO). This means when you donate, it’s a dollar for dollar tax credit on your 2025 AZ state taxes up to $495 single – $987 married filing jointly

What you can do?

Giving for Capstone Contributes is a 2 prong approach.

1. First, we seek the support of our friends and colleagues to raise the funds to buy the supplies to fill 20,000 snack bags with non perishable items

2. Second, we come together for one memorable day of community and giving back to those that need it most and fill the snack bags for homeless youth.

HELP will distribute the filled Snackz bags to local school districts where the bags will then be distributed to homeless youth.
