Strong local economies don’t happen by accident. They’re built through intentional investment in people, locally owned businesses and the financial institutions that keep dollars circulating close to home.

When you deposit your money in locally owned credit unions and community banks, those dollars are reinvested right back into Arizona communities — supporting small businesses, local jobs and long-term economic resilience.

Through a special partnership with Arizona Financial Credit Union, a donation of $15 or more helps open the door to a new account, making it easier to align where you bank with what you believe.

Local First Arizona Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Donations are tax-deductible. Use EIN 26-1657951 and QCO Code 22141 when filing your taxes. Final eligibility is confirmed by Arizona Financial Credit Union. Donations are nonrefundable.

Thank you for investing in work that strengthens local ownership and creates lasting economic opportunity across Arizona.
