Save Arizona Small Businesses

As a native Phoenician, I have grown up in our community and seen firsthand the explosion of incredible small businesses over the last few decades. In only a short time, we have become a hub of creativity and the premier destination in the American Southwest. 

As a patron of many of these small businesses, they have helped provide a place to study, catch up with old friends, and provide that perfect gift for a birthday. The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to us entering a critical time in both our nation and state of Arizona. Shutting down non-essential businesses is the right thing to do, but it places an undue burden on small business owners that are facing an uphill battle right now. 

We no longer can stand by as a community and hope for the best. At this time, we need to chip in and help them in any way possible to keep them from shuttering completely. If you are a small business owner, please contact [email redacted] to send your information and get added to our list. 

All funds, outside of processing fees from GoFundMe will be given to small businesses in Arizona and any leftover funds will be given to a 501(c)3.

We will be posting updates on Twitter as often as possible. Please share this fundraiser with friends, family members, and others in our state.
