At AVC we prioritize providing capital for under-represented businesses in Arizona.
Businesses that are owned and controlled by individuals who have had their access to funds diminished as compared to others in comparable economic circumstances due to their – gender; veteran status; limited English proficiency; disability; long-term residence in an environment isolated from the mainstream of American society; membership of a federally or state-recognized Indian Tribe; long term residence in a rural community; residence in a U.S. territory; residency in a community undergoing economic transitions (including communities impacted by the shift toward net-zero economy or deindustrialization); or membership of another underserved community.
