Building Opportunity

Systems change isn't usually the result of top-down decisions – it's built by the resourcefulness and collaboration of local leaders, often innovating out of necessity. We know that those who are most deeply impacted by the inequities of our current economy have been creating solutions in their own communities for decades.

Your investment in Local First Arizona is an investment in those communities. Will you give back to your community today by helping us build opportunity in Arizona? Your support will allow us to:

  • Educate consumers about the interconnectedness of the economy -- how and where they spend matters.

  • Train small businesses to be more resilient, while helping our larger partners tell their story as champions of Arizona.

  • Create programs and events that make it fun and easy to discover local businesses and buy local.

  • Target systems of inequity and build prosperity for all Arizonans by proactively identifying comprehensive solutions and taking action.
