What is Arizona Gives Day?

Arizona Gives is a collaboration between the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and Arizona Grantmakers that began in 2013 to help people find, learn about, and contribute to the local causes they believe in, like Ben’s Bells. They help raise awareness about Arizona nonprofits’ critical role in our communities and inspire people to give generously, making our state stronger, and creating a thriving community for all.

Why invest in Ben’s Bells?

Ben’s Bells was founded in Tucson, and we are proud to be one of Arizona’s longstanding nonprofits. Ben’s Bells teaches individuals and communities about the positive impacts of intentional kindness and inspires people to practice kindness as a way of life. Our programs are based on the belief that everyone can be kind and that kindness can be cultivated through education, visual reminders, and ongoing practice.

Where Kindness Takes Root

At Manzo Elementary, students aren’t just growing gardens, they’re growing a culture of kindness that reaches far beyond their campus. With support from their community and partners like Ben’s Bells, that commitment came to life through a powerful “Sé Amable” mural, a daily reminder that every student belongs and can practice kindness. This is what intentional kindness looks like in action, and it’s only possible because of community support. 

The Kindness Behind Brady Riel

At Empire High School, kindness looks like Brady Riel. From welcoming new students with small, thoughtful gestures to stepping into leadership roles at Ben’s Bells and Camp Kind, Brady shows what it means to lead with care, connection, and intention. His impact is felt in every space he enters, creating environments where people feel seen, supported, and valued. Students like Brady are proof of what’s possible when kindness is practiced every day.

Bringing Kindness to Life Across Arizona

Kindness can start in a classroom, but through partnerships like Ben’s Bells and the Arizona Diamondbacks, it reaches far beyond. Through the Torey Lovullo Kindness Champions program, students across Arizona are recognized and celebrated for choosing kindness, showing them that it matters and belongs in every space they enter. That impact continues in the community, where young people come together to create lasting reminders like “Be Kind” murals, built through connection and shared purpose. This is what it looks like when kindness is lived, seen, and celebrated.

Students Leading the Way in Kindness

At Desert View and Pueblo High School, students are showing that kindness isn’t just something you learn, it’s something you lead. From mentoring younger students to recognizing educators who create safe, supportive spaces, their actions are shaping a culture where kindness is real, visible, and shared. Across classrooms and communities, these students are creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond their schools, building confidence, connection, and leadership rooted in kindness.

Transforming Spaces Through Kindness

At Cragin Elementary, kindness is doing more than shaping behavior, it’s transforming how students experience their school. Through a community-led “Be Kind” mural, the campus courtyard is becoming a space for connection, belonging, and everyday moments of kindness. What started as a collaborative project is now a living, breathing reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together with intention.

When Kindness Fills the Space

At Ben’s Bells Downtown Studio, a simple field trip turned into something unforgettable as students from Carrillo Magnet School created a shared “Kindness Disco Floor” in the courtyard. What began as individual chalk drawings quickly became a collective expression of connection, showing how small acts of creativity can grow into something bigger when done together. The result wasn’t just art, it was a moment that shifted how people moved through and experienced the space, making kindness visible in real time.
