May 29, 2026

For more than two decades, Ideas Collide has believed businesses should uplift the communities around them. Through our IC Gives initiative, we invest not only through funding, but also through creativity, strategy, and partnerships that help organizations grow their impact.

That commitment is why our partnership with the State Forty Eight Foundation is such a natural fit.

Arizona’s entrepreneurial spirit is driven by people willing to invest in others. Collaboration, mentorship, storytelling, and opportunity help businesses and leaders grow, and at Ideas Collide, we see the impact these efforts create when paired with organizations focused on lasting change.

Over the next two years, Ideas Collide will invest more than $22,000 in strategic marketing support, sponsorship, and storytelling resources to help strengthen the growth and impact of the State Forty Eight Foundation. This includes in-kind creative services, impact storytelling initiatives, and sponsorship support for fundraising and community events designed to elevate the Foundation’s mission across Arizona.

Storytelling has the power to amplify voices, inspire entrepreneurs, strengthen communities, and create new opportunities. Through this partnership, we hope to spotlight the people, businesses, and programs making a difference across Arizona while helping expand the Foundation’s reach and long-term impact.

As Arizona continues to grow, supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses is increasingly important. The State Forty Eight Foundation creates opportunities for the next generation of Arizona builders, dreamers, and innovators, and that mission closely aligns with our values as an agency rooted in creativity, collaboration, and community investment.

At Ideas Collide, we believe meaningful brands give back. Through IC Gives, we’ve supported nonprofits and organizations helping shape the future of our communities. Partnerships like this show the impact that happens when businesses reinvest their resources, expertise, and energy back into the places they call home.

We are proud to stand alongside the State Forty Eight Foundation in supporting Arizona’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Whether you’re a growing business, nonprofit, or established brand, Ideas Collide is committed to helping organizations create meaningful impact through strategy, storytelling, and innovation.
