Immediate Impact

$70 stays local from a locally owned business

$40 stays local from a national corporation

Long-Term Impact When You Spend Local

When the local portion keeps being re-spent nearby, the effect grows over time.

$177 projected 1-year local ripple

$233 projected 5-year local ripple

Estimates use the 70-cents-local vs. 40-cents-national benchmark. Long-term totals assume local dollars keep recirculating through wages, supplies, rent, services, donations, and other purchases.
