Tempe Community Action Agency Charity Profile

Tempe Community Action Agency, Inc ("TCAA") is a nonprofit social service organization that helps families and individuals who are in need, from before birth to age 100+. The agency's mission is to empower our community members to address basic needs to live with dignity, self-reliance, and optimum health.
In 1966, TCAA started as “Operation Grassroots” as a food buying coop., tortilla factory, neighborhood credit union, post-office and community garden. Incorporated as a 501(c)3 in 1971, TCAA has been the community's primary social service organization, serving elderly and low income community members. The agency is governed by an Executive Director and a volunteer Board of Directors. TCAA is supported by grants, contracts and private contributors including Maricopa County Human Services Department, Area Agency on Aging Region One, the cities of Tempe and Scottsdale, Valley of the Sun United Way, Arizona Department of Health Services, foundations, corporations, and private citizens. The agency's small professional staff of fewer than 30 paid employees is assisted by over 250 community volunteers.
