On behalf  of AZ Business Magazine and the Arizona Community Foundation, we are proud to announce the 2019 AZ Business Angels Awards.  

This award program will recognize, honor and bring together Arizona’s nonprofit community with the corporate leaders who support them.  We will engage the nonprofit leaders of Arizona in order to learn more about their missions, the causes they support and the people who work tirelessly to serve them.  Equally important, we will pay tribute to the leaders of Arizona’s for-profit community who sit on boards, donate time, support company community initiatives and give back through various means to the nonprofit community.  All of this year’s finalists will be featured within our annual special edition: AZ Business Angels magazine.
