Who We Are

Brophy Community Foundation has been helping families with verified financial need afford a private school education for their children. Established in 1998, our scholarship foundation is one of the oldest and most well-respected school tuition organizations in Arizona.

Our Work

Brophy Community Foundation’s operating costs average 5% — well under the legislated 10%. That means more of your tax credit contribution goes toward private school tuition aid for families with proven financial need.

The Impact of Your Donations

In addition to providing tuition aid to underserved students, your donations make a valuable impact in the schools. Increasing accessibility to private education often increases the diversity of the student body. At Brophy College Preparatory, your donations have increased diversity from 16.6% in 1999 to 47.5% in 2024. 

Learn more about your donation’s impact today to see how you’re positively helping students.

Partner Schools

By providing financial assistance to students with verified financial needs, Brophy Community Foundation opens up avenues of opportunity for them to attend a diverse range of private schools, including:

  • Brophy College Preparatory: Established in 1928, Brophy College Preparatory is a Jesuit, Catholic institution for young men. Brophy enrolls 1,300 students in grades nine through twelve.
  • Loyola Academy: Loyola Academy is a tuition-free college preparatory program established in 2011. The academy supports boys from low-income families entering sixth grade, particularly those who show academic promise.
  • Other institutions: Brophy Community Foundation also provides tuition assistance to students from more than 30 other partner schools statewide.

"Quite simply, the Brophy Community Foundation is a game changer. The Jesuits stress the need for all of us to be bridge builders in a world where people are becoming increasingly isolated and insular. Brophy Community Foundation enables Brophy to be a place where bridges are built on a daily basis. In class, on the field, on retreats, and in every aspect of campus life, students from every corner of the Valley and very diverse backgrounds build bridges of understanding and relationship.”

"My name is Joshua Virgen. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for awarding me with a scholarship that allows me to continue my studies at St. Gregory Catholic School. I like attending this school because the teachers are nice, and they care that we learn the best. They always care that I keep my grades up. I like that I also get the opportunity to learn about my Catholic religion. I am learning about God and his love for us and much more. For all of this and much more I give thanks to the Brophy Community Foundation."

The Brophy Community Foundation has never accepted donor designated contributions.
Arizona law now requires all school tuition organizations to print the following notice on all printed material and websites: "A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of donor recommendation. A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer's own dependent."
