The Keep Tucson Amable Grant Fund recognizes and supports these businesses with awards of up to $5,000.
Tucson, AZ — Statistics show that small businesses fuel our local economy, create jobs, and ensure access to goods and services. These are the businesses that are the heart of our community, often going above and beyond the call of commerce to serve citizens sight unseen. From commissioning art on their buildings for all to enjoy to funding uniforms for a local youth soccer team, Tucson small businesses are the first in line to donate, sponsor, and enrich our city.
The Keep Tucson Amable award recognizes businesses with a track record of community service and further funds plans to continue their efforts.
