Empowering Small Businesses: Look Local First Officially Becomes A Non-Profit

 

At Look Local First, we've always been driven by a passion for supporting small businesses and the people behind them. From the beginning, our mission has been clear: to spotlight, support, and educate entrepreneurs, empowering them to thrive in their communities.
Today, we are thrilled to announce the most significant milestone in our journey- we've officially transitioned to a non-profit organization!

This is a pivotal moment for us, one that will allow us to continue amplifying the voices of small business owners, extending our reach, and expanding our small business initiatives.
Below, we'll dive into how this change will shape our future endeavors.

 

         

1. Strengthening our commitment to small businesses
As a non-profit, our dedication to the small business community is unwavering. This transition solidifies our commitment to being a resource and advocate for entrepreneurs. Every small business deserves the support & guidance needed to thrive.

2. Expanding our impact
We will be expanding our small business initiatives in meaningful ways. Whether through community events, educational workshops, collaboration, or advocacy efforts, we are dedicated to providing the support needed to empower small business owners. By reaching more small businesses and other non-profits, we can foster growth, innovation, and positive economic impacts for the small business community.


3. Creating opportunities for collaboration
We believe that collaboration and community are key to growth. By partnering with other organizations and small business owners, we can leverage our collective expertise and resources to fuel positive change. We will continue to build a network of individuals and organizations to amplify our impact and maximize the value we bring to small businesses.

4. Inspiring others
By transitioning to a non-profit, we hope to inspire individuals and businesses to consider the impact of shopping small and looking local first. Our initiatives will support small business owners and educate consumers on the benefits of supporting entrepreneurs in their community.

We're optimistic and determined as we embrace this new chapter as a non-profit. Our commitment to supporting small businesses will continue to fuel us, and we're excited about what lies ahead! Let's continue to empower entrepreneurs, foster innovation, and build communities where small businesses can thrive.
