The Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit organization based in Phoenix, founded in 1948 and incorporated in 1976, focused on advancing business growth in a diversifying market. It supports Hispanic-owned and minority businesses through programs such as seminars, marketing consultations, leadership development, and networking opportunities. In 1991, its AZHCC Foundation was established to fund statewide economic development initiatives and an educational scholarship program. The chamber serves a statewide network of Hispanic business owners in a region where about 30 percent of residents are of Hispanic origin, positioning itself as a conduit to future business relationships in a culturally diverse economy. Arizona's Hispanic-owned businesses number around 50,000, reflecting the region's growth and the importance of advocacy and support for minority entrepreneurs. A recent development is a 2023 partnership with Equality Health Foundation to expand resources and opportunities for scholars pursuing careers in healthcare, illustrating ongoing collaboration beyond core business services.
