Bob and Renee Parsons, the Scottsdale founders of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation, and Phoenix-based Greisa Martínez Rosas, executive director of United We Dream, appear in TIME's 2026 TIME100 Philanthropy list, published in the magazine's May 25 issue, which recognizes 100 influential leaders shaping charitable giving.
The Parsons were honored in the Titans category. The foundation directs funding to nonprofits working on healthcare, education and housing, with an emphasis on serving people during acute hardship. Bob Parsons is the founder of GoDaddy and PXG; Renee Parsons leads the foundation's strategic philanthropic efforts. The foundation's TIME announcement described its giving as driven by a belief that all people deserve access to quality healthcare, education and a safe place to call home regardless of race, religion, economic status, sexual orientation or gender identity.
Martínez Rosas was named in the Trailblazers category. She relocated to Phoenix in early 2024 and runs the country's largest youth-led immigrant network from Arizona, which TIME and an Arizona Republic profile have described as a proving ground for both anti-immigrant policies and grassroots resistance.
Martínez Rosas, a DACA recipient who arrived in the U.S. from Hidalgo, Mexico, at age 7, has said her father's deportation shaped her advocacy. "My father was deported because we couldn't afford a lawyer," she told TIME. "That experience left me broken and showed me that the system is broken."
United We Dream launched the Defending Our Neighbors Fund in partnership with the American Civil Liberties Union and the Abundant Futures Fund. The initiative aims to raise $30 million to provide legal support and resources for immigrants facing heightened Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity and has raised more than $14 million so far.
The full TIME100 Philanthropy list appears in the May 25, 2026, issue of TIME.
