Az Business Angels casts a spotlight on the nonprofits, individuals,  business leaders, healthcare professionals and organizations who are making the biggest impact on our communities.

“When we first launched Az Business Angels in 2017, its mission was to challenge business leaders and companies to match their skill sets and desire to give back to the community by working with nonprofits that desperately need the help,” says Amy Lindsey, vice president and publisher of AZ Big Media, which publishes Az Business and seven other magazines. “Az Business Angels was created to give new hope to nonprofits and inspire businesses and business leaders to make a difference and to make it their unconditional mission to connect, volunteer and give back to the communities they serve.”

Az Business Angels will be showcased in the November issue of Az Business magazine.
