THE MISSION

Some of the best natural entrepreneurs in the United States are in under served urban communities, but they lack key resources needed to create sustainable businesses that benefit the broader community.

At Hustle PHX, we encourage the creation of sustainable business ventures that affirm the dignity of people and lead to the flourishing of all communities in Phoenix.

Now we need your help in growing our impact on small businesses throughout the valley.

THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAM

As an Arizona taxpayer you have a unique opportunity to redirect some of your state tax funds to an organization of your choice that aligns with your values and charitable goals.  Organizations that can do things like give under-served areas in our city needed funds that provide opportunities, create jobs, and a hand up not a hand out.

Through this program, you can help us increase our impact and help our under-served communities grow through small businesses.

YOUR IMPACT

Your contributions will go into empowering and providing the needed resources to underserved entrepreneurs. Here are a few of our entrepreneur’s stories and how Hustle PHX has impacted their lives.
