Project Jigsaw

Help connect Arizona’s children with loving families! A child should never be without a permanent, loving home. Unfortunately, this is the reality for the over 18,000 children and youth in Arizona’s state care. This is why Equality Arizona and Arizona Children’s Association have launched a new collaborative community effort called Project Jigsaw: Connecting Every Child to a Loving Family.

What is Project Jigsaw?

A campaign focused on building a diverse coalition of Arizonans working together to create an environment where all couples, regardless of sexual orientation or gender, are provided the opportunity to build a loving family for amazing children.
