A Message from Our President

We remain committed to showing up when it matters most, and to earning the trust our community places in us every day.

"906" is Phoenix Police radio code for an officer needing immediate assistance, the call that inspired our founding in 2007, and the spirit behind everything we do. As President of 906 Foundation, I'm proud to lead an organization dedicated to building trust and unity between law enforcement and our community through education, outreach, and compassionate giving.

That mission comes to life through programs like Back the Blue, the Phoenix Police Cadet Scholarship Program, Shop with a Cop, and Backpacks and Badges, which has distributed more than 10,000 backpacks to Phoenix children in need. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, we've distributed approximately $4.5 million in support since our founding.

We remain committed to showing up when it matters most, and to earning the trust our community places in us every day. Thank you for standing with us.

With gratitude,

Darrell Kriplean

President, 906 Foundation
