What chandler compadres does

Chandler Compadres is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization founded in 1980 and headquartered in Chandler, Arizona (Federal Tax ID: 99-0209180). The organization's sole mission is raising and distributing funds to support disadvantaged children and families in Chandler and the East Valley region of Arizona, with a particular emphasis on youth academic and development programs. It operates an umbrella-style giving model, channeling donations through vetted beneficiary organizations rather than running its own service programs.

The organization is run by a Board of Directors and 40 active members (capped) plus 80+ life members, drawn from civic-minded business and community leaders in agriculture, IT, engineering, grocery, banking, law, advertising, real estate, small business, and government. Fundraising is driven by annual signature events including the Chandler Compadres Golf Classic (held at Whirlwind Golf Club) and Rock the Cause for Kids benefit bash, supplemented by Arizona QCO and QFCO Tax Credit donation programs that allow donors to redirect state tax liability. The Holiday Family Assistance Program, hosted at Chandler Air Service, collects toys, food, and clothing for families in need during the holiday season. Cumulative giving exceeds $21.3 million, with $2.7 million distributed in 2025 alone — the largest Give Day in organizational history.

The organization has no proprietary technology products and does not sell goods or services. Distribution occurs through direct donations via the website donation portal, the Arizona state tax credit programs, and in-person at community events, with proceeds then passed through to nine or more beneficiary non-profits including Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley, ICAN Positive Programs for Youth, AzCend, Chandler Education Foundation, Child Crisis Arizona, Arizona Brainfood, Chandler Care Center, Boost a Foster Family, and Sizzle Academy. Current leadership comprises President Eric Petrie, President Elect Chris Cuevas, Secretary Andy Strand, Treasurer Chip Griffith, and Past President Matt Askland.
