Qualified Charitable Organizations Candelen

AZ QCO: 21988

From birth to five, children form more than 1 million neural connections every second. Those critical changes taking place in their bodies and minds mean we must hold early learning experiences to high standards and give children the best chances at success.

That’s where Candelen comes in to help. We join with families, communities, and systems to illuminate the inherent potential of children to shine their brightest. Our early childhood experts offer essential educational programs, supportive services, and helpful tools for parents, caregivers, decision makers, and educators to collectively act in the best interest of children.

We focus on innovation, iteration, and collaboration to meet children and families where they are, with what they need to thrive. In the past year alone, we’ve served more than 40,000 children, 1,300 parents and caregivers, and 4,500 educators throughout both Arizona and Nevada.

When you make a donation to support Candelen, you’re investing in the future. For every $1 put toward early childhood, there is $16 return to the community through increased graduation rates, appropriate wages, and decreased dependence on financial assistance in the future. Your contribution brings prosperity back to the children and families in our communities and to you. Make a qualifying tax deductible donation today.
