Conecta Arizona fosters dialogue among Spanish-speaking communities in the U.S.-Mexico border region, offering accurate, engaging, and accessible bilingual news. The Pivot Fund chose to support Conecta Arizona because of the organization’s unique approach to news distribution and delivery, with every news item distributed on multiple platforms.

The outlet used Pivot funding to expand coverage in communities across Southern Arizona. It’s also set to hire a staff member dedicated to development and grant writing, and implement a payroll structure and employee management system.
