FundPHX digital ad

FundPHX is an online tool designed to educate and engage the public in the City’s annual budget process. The tool is available with the 2022-23 adopted budget in both English and Spanish and gives residents an opportunity to try their hand at balancing the City’s $1.8 billion General Fund operating budget. It also allows residents to provide feedback on current funding levels and share community priorities with staff. Information collected in the tool from residents will be shared regularly with City Council so it can help guide the development of the 2023-24 operating budget.
