• Campaign Objective: Our primary objective is to encourage residents to Think Local when they are considering where to make purchases, to Buy Local whenever possible and to Be Local by supporting businesses that keep our community unique. We want to increase market share to independent, locally owned businesses by increasing awareness about the personal and community benefits of choosing local.
• Which businesses: Hundreds of local and independently owned businesses in NW Washington!
• Eligibility: Any local and independently owned private business in NW Washington.
• How do I participate: The financial support of our sponsors allows us to provide you significantly subsidized, professionally designed materials and publicity that will help to differentiate your business for FREE if you are a member of Sustainable Connections, or $100 if you're not. Keep the momentum going by continuing to educate our community about the significance of local and independent business ownership. Your active participation in the campaign is vital for its success!
