Investing in the Community: The Florence Copper Community Foundation

The Florence Copper Community Foundation was created to provide resources to initiatives that will effectively address community needs, particularly those with long-term sustainability.

The Florence Copper Community Foundation is committed to making a valuable contribution to the Town of Florence and greater Pinal County through charitable donations, community project support, and sponsorships.

To date, over $83,000 has been awarded through the Florence Copper Community Foundation, including recipients such as Honoring/Hiring/Helping Our Heroes of Pinal County, the Florence Food Bank, the Copper Basin YMCA, and the Future Forward Foundation.

Community Events and Sponsorships

Community Outreach and Public Education

Florence Copper has worked steadily to earn the required permits for the project since 2011. Community outreach and public education about in-situ copper recovery has been a priority.

  • Over 396 public Site Tours were given
  • Open House events were organized for the community on a periodic basis
  • Newsletters and emails were frequently sent to interested citizens
  • Social Media platforms were created and updated frequently

Employee Volunteering

Since 2015, Florence Copper has volunteered in highway cleanups. We adopted Hunt Highway through the Town of Florence's Adopt-a-Town-Road program and volunteer in quarterly cleanups to take care of our adopted highway. Our employee volunteer programs will continue to grow as we advance to commercial operations.
