The Yavapai County Arizona Community Foundation named Lisa Sahady as its new regional director and recently awarded more than $500,000 in grants.

Sahady, with 14 years’ experience in the nonprofit organizations in the Quad City area — five years as philanthropic adviser for the Yavapai County Arizona Community Foundation — succeeded Carol Chamberlain, who retired this past spring. Sahady earned a master’s degree in leadership from Grand Canyon University.

She said of her new role, “I’ll have an opportunity to work with individual donors, residents and organizations throughout the county.” Her position will focus on increasing asset development, donor engagement, community leadership, nonprofit capacity building and strategic grantmaking.

The foundation has given $502,605 to 70 groups representing organizations and communities throughout the county.

Sahady made the announcement, saying: “Because of the pandemic, we did not have the public Joy of Giving celebration where we gathered in person in August as in the past. We hope to meet together, perhaps in January 2022.”
