She has served on the board of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Southern AZ chapter since 2019, establishing the BIPOC Nonprofit Workers support group and assisting in the chapter’s groundbreaking IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access) work.

SCOTT MATLICK (HE/HIM) Scott recently celebrated working ten years as a fundraiser, and is proud to have spent each of those years with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Arizona. There is nothing more important to him than family, and feels privileged to be able to keep them together during times of crisis at RMHC.

He is thankful for the connections and community created by AFP and its passionate members.

During his free time, Fred enjoys exploring Tucson’s gastronomy scene with his husband, Jose.

They value scholarship, service to others, sisterhood, and leadership. The philanthropic partnership with the RMHC has been one of the central tenets of their chapter and the reason why many of our new members choose their organization.

In just the past fifteen years, the Delta Gamma chapter at UofA has contributed $275,000 to RMHC of Southern Arizona. The Chapter hosts many events throughout the year to raise money such as Chicken and Fries with ADPi, Diamond Series, and Pop Tab collections. Members also partner with RMHC to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House®, Ronald McDonald Family Room® programs and their events, as well as routinely cooking meals for guest families. By partnering with the same organization year in and year out, our members are able to build on past successes and understand the lasting value of their work. They recognize that the care and devotion to philanthropic values developed in their members will carry forward into their careers and personal lives.

OUTSTANDING FOUNDATION PHILANTHROPIST ABBETT FAMILY FOUNDATION The Abbett family has a long-standing tradition of service to our country and giving back to our communities. The Abbett Family Foundation (AFF) was established in 2012 and received its 501(c)3 exemption (private family foundation) in 2015. Our mission is to benefit Arizonans by creating opportunities to develop and expand needed services through collaborations with nonprofit service providers and charitable giving. The Foundation believes in supporting organizations by providing consultation and funding programmatic and infrastructure resources. Co-founded by Jeffrey Abbett (son) and Jenniffer Jarvis (granddaughter), the Foundation board includes members Renee Cruz (daughter) and Tim Wilcox (Principal, Sonoran Investment Management, Tucson).

The aim of our partnerships is not to create short-term solutions but to build relationships and programs with broad community impact and lasting sustainability. Our work focuses on identifying nonprofit service providers who are growing and developing essential services for advancing health, educational, scientific, literary, and other charitable purposes. Our collaborations with community leaders bring new services and educational opportunities to those in need throughout Arizona. Our efforts also support nonprofits in creating and improving the quality and scope of existing programs and services.

Jill’s compassion for those in need was not limited to only children; Jill was an advocate for increasing JFCS services to Jewish and non-Jewish people of all ages.

Along with her husband, Herschel (Herk) Rosenzweig, Jill’s philanthropic efforts were wide-reaching. Jill also supported many arts programs, especially those with programs for children, including the Tucson Symphony, the Arizona Opera, the Southern Arizona Chamber Music Society, the Tucson Museum of Art, the University of Arizona School of Dance, and The Drawing Studio.

ABOUT THIS YEAR’S AWARDS ALEXANDRA BERGER CLAMONS, THE GLASS DESERT A Sonoran desert dweller for 16 years, Alex translates her love of the desert into a line of Modern Stained Glass cacti and other desert inspired home decor. Her work is inspired by her day-to-day environment as she strives to pay homage to Tucson’s amazing Sonoran Desert.
