About Local First Arizona
Local First Arizona
Local First Arizona is a nonprofit organization that celebrates independent, locally-owned businesses. We support, promote, and advocate for a strong local business community and raise public awareness of the economic and cultural benefits provided by strong local economies. Local businesses contribute to a sustainable economy for Arizona and build vibrant communities we're all proud to call home.
Together with our Foundation, Local First Arizona is working to build a diversified Arizona economy that is sustainable, resilient, and celebratory of diverse cultures.
Local First Arizona promotes, supports, and celebrates a vibrant and sustainable Arizona economy by educating citizens about local business ownership, social equity, cultural diversity, environmental kinship, and collaboration. Local First Arizona's business coalition represents nearly 3,000 locally owned businesses of all industries and sizes across the state.
