Tucson
Community
Commitment
In 2021, we set out to address the financial future of an entire city—Tucson, Arizona. We joined forces with community leaders, businesses and nonprofits to provide financial education to raise the skills of the whole city.
We believe the knowledge and skills that will emerge from this initiative will create jobs, new business, and economic opportunities that will benefit the entire city. And our hope is that this will become a national model for raising the outcomes of whole communities.
The CEO Prize
One of our proudest initiatives is the Singleton CEO Prize for Excellence in Business Leadership. Honoring the best of the best, this is a lifetime achievement award that recognizes a living CEO whose work demonstrates a combination of talent, vision, focus, and commitment, and whose work has produced exceptional returns for shareholders over many years.
As part of the award of our CEO Prize for Excellence in Business Leadership, we also celebrate a non-profit, selected by our honoree, whose work aligns with our mission, to receive a gift of $250,000.
