The Desperados, a nonprofit organisation committed to land, wildlife and environmental conservation, as well as cultural enrichment in and around the Desert Mountain community, announced two significant philanthropic grants to Carefree Park and to the Sonoran Arts League. The presentations were made during a November 10th event in Desert Mountain.
The Desperados contributions support two worthwhile efforts in the neighboring Desert Mountain community. Carefree Park is working to acquire the last remaining 48-acres of accessible Sonoran Desert in Carefree and preserving it for all to enjoy. The Sonoran Arts League is an arts organisation dedicated to actively advancing art, artists, and art education for the benefit of all those who appreciate the arts.
“The Desperados applaud the efforts of both Carefree Park and the Sonoran Arts League,” said Desperados Co-Founder and VP Troy Gillenwater. “Carefree Park’s work to preserve a pristine parcel of desert and the Sonoran Arts League’s mission of advancing the arts are in perfect alignment with our values. The Desperados are proud partners of both organisations and support the great work they are doing throughout the Desert Foothills community.”
“There is a sense of urgency to save this parcel of land in Carefree,” said Carefree Park Co-Founder and President Wendy Mattes. “We are especially grateful to the Desperados for their financial support and perhaps more importantly, for their encouragement and moral support.”
“The Sonoran Arts League’s vision is to inspire a life of art in our community,” said Sonoran Arts League President David Court. “The generous support from our friends, the Desperados, helps make it possible for us to provide high-quality art and helps to fund educational programs for a broad spectrum of constituents, including free classes for Veterans and youth.
Since the Desperados were formed in 2016, the group has supported neighbors who share and promote its mission with more than $200,000 in grants, including regional museums and art organisations, land trusts and government agencies, wildlife and environmental conservancies and outdoor recreation associations.
The Desperados were founded in 2016 when two outdoor enthusiasts realised the potential to protect a 3,000-acre wilderness preserve for the Desert Mountain community by establishing a carefully developed trails system.
