How to Keep Money in the Community

Service Description

Learn practical strategies to keep more spending local and strengthen your community’s economy. Small communities often watch money flow out faster than it comes in — residents shop elsewhere, businesses source from outside suppliers, and local dollars don’t always circulate long enough to create real impact. This session explores practical, realistic strategies to keep more money in the community, even with limited staff or resources. We’ll look at how to strengthen local supply chains, encourage resident and business‑to‑business spending, support local entrepreneurs, and create simple initiatives that boost local loyalty. You’ll learn how to identify leakage points, leverage existing assets, and build partnerships that help dollars circulate longer and more often within your town. By the end of the session, participants will walk away with actionable tools to grow local economic resilience without needing major funding or large‑scale programs.
