What we award
About the Adopt-A-Teacher program
Desert Financial was founded in 1939 by a group of educators who believed in sharing success with the community. One way we continue to share success is by giving back to Arizona teachers! We recognize the hard work of our educators by giving them the opportunity to be part of our annual Adopt-A-Teacher program.1
We’re adopting teachers from all over the state this year. Any teacher in Arizona can apply! Each selected teacher provides a wish list of classroom supplies and essentials valued at $500 to $1,500. We fulfill each of their wish lists as our way of showing appreciation for their efforts in the classroom and beyond.
