Arizona Apparel Foundation Fundraiser

The Arizona Apparel Foundation (AAF)  is a community centric non-profit organization that is focused on providing the tools and resources for small business apparel brands to grow and thrive. Our strong emphasis on local first and sustainable practices, are the pillars to which our non-profit stands upon.

In order for the AAF to continue providing these amazing initiatives and programs, passion alone is not enough. The non-profit organization relies upon donor givings from the community. These donations help provide the resources required to keep these programs going so we continue to provide a positive impact and continue to pursue the vision and mission of AAF .

OUR STORY

Arizona Apparel Foundation (AAF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping local fashion design brands navigate obstacles to success by providing the resources they need to start, grow, and thrive in Arizona.

Our goal is to encourage local brands to manufacture in Arizona and to attract out-of-state brands looking for resource alternatives. Manufacturing apparel locally keeps money in the state, creates jobs, and ushers in a creative, new, sustainable, and in-demand industry.
