Welcome to the Heart of the Desert Foothills Community!
Here in the Cave Creek and Carefree area, we believe a strong community is built when neighbors, nonprofits, and local businesses come together. Our mission is simple: to connect people who care with the causes that matter most.
Through our Community Partners program, we link local businesses with nonprofits to create meaningful, cause-driven partnerships. With Desert Foothills Volunteers, we connect helping hands to organizations in need, making it easy to give back in ways big and small. And every year at Community Fest, we celebrate the spirit of the Foothills with a night of music, food, and fundraising that shines a spotlight on the nonprofits shaping our future.
Together, we’re building a community where everyone belongs, everyone contributes, and everyone benefits. Whether you’re here to partner, volunteer, or celebrate—you’re in the right place.

Cause Marketing for a Cause
Community Partners brings together local businesses and nonprofits in a win-win partnership. Businesses gain visibility and goodwill while nonprofits gain crucial support to carry out their missions. By shopping, dining, and supporting participating businesses, community members are directly investing in local causes. It’s a partnership that benefits everyone—our neighbors, our businesses, and the nonprofits that keep our community thriving.
The Power of Helping Hands
Every nonprofit depends on dedicated volunteers, and that’s where Desert Foothills Volunteers comes in. We connect people who want to make a difference with local organizations that need their skills and support. Whether you can give an hour a month or several hours a week, your time and talents are invaluable. From food banks and museums to senior care and animal rescue, there’s a place for everyone to pitch in.
One Night. One Big Impact.
Community Fest is our annual celebration that unites the entire Desert Foothills (May want to throw in there Carefree and Cave Creek) area. It’s more than just a fundraiser—it’s a night of music, food, games, raffles, and community spirit. Proceeds go directly to local nonprofits, helping them continue their important work year-round. At Community Fest, neighbors come together, nonprofits share their missions, and local businesses step up in support. It’s where community truly shines.
