FundPHX digital ad

FundPHX is an online tool that was launched in January 2020 designed to educate and engage the public in the City's annual budget process. The tool is available with the 2021-22 adopted budget in both English and Spanish and gives residents an opportunity to try their hand at balancing the City's $1.6 billion General Fund operating budget. It also allow 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 development of the 2022-23 operating budget.
