ARIZONA CAPITAL LANDSCAPE STUDY

CAPITAL REIMAGINED

Working Together to Shape the Future of Arizona

What is the Capital Landscape Study?

This is Arizona’s first comprehensive analysis of how capital moves — and where it stalls.

Funded by Wells Fargo and led in partnership with NALCAB, this statewide effort will uncover the patterns, gaps, and opportunities shaping Arizona’s capital ecosystem across housing, small business, nonprofit infrastructure, and community lending.

This isn't just research. It’s a strategic effort to pinpoint capital gaps, align investment leaders, and build the foundation for a more connected, future-ready system in Arizona.

Why This Matters

Arizona’s Future Economy Requires Collaboration

Too many Arizona communities still face a financial desert, where capital is limited, disconnected, or doesn’t reach those who need it most. This study aims to change that.

We’re not just analyzing — we’re activating. Mapping the gaps. Surfacing what’s been missed.
And building a statewide investment playbook to ensure Arizona’s future is funded with purpose, equity, and coordination.
