Be Like Mike
Mike McQuaid
Co-founder of Key Campus
Simply put – Key Campus would not exist today without Mike McQuaid’s enduring vision and relentless drive.
When we lost Mike to COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic, we grieved as a community. When we gathered in his honor, we all understood: the best way to honor his legacy is to keep doing the work.
“Homelessness is a solvable problem.”

The Mike McQuaid Legacy
Mike represented the very best of us, and his legacy lives on through the continued work of Keys to Change.
McQuaid Mission
The McQuaid Mission is a monthly local news segment produced by STN – Social Television Network highlighting local solutions in housing and homelessness. Keys to Change co-produces the segment in Mike’s honor to raise awareness, engage curiosity, and inspire compassionate action from our neighbors across the Valley.
I Am Home Breakfast
Mike held the first fundraising breakfast before the Campus even existed, where he asked a handful of donors to embark on a journey with him that would transform Phoenix forever.
Now in its 21st year, the Mike McQuaid I Am Home Breakfast is an annual opportunity to come together to celebrate the personal transformations happening daily at Key Campus – and to make bold investments to continue our work.
Legacy Giving
Mike McQuaid was a relentless fundraiser and authentic partner in the fight to end homelessness. He was an expert at connecting the people who care to the projects in need of their talents. Mike’s own legacy giving and the gifts that he inspired continue to sustain the work of Keys to Change.
“Not a day goes by that I don’t think of Mike. His passion, leadership, commitment, and unparalleled drive to end homelessness continue to guide us all everyday.”
