What does your donation to Dane Buy Local Foundation do?
Many already understand the importance of buying locally. It seems to be part of the DNA in our area! We support a better quality of life by purchasing from our neighborhood businesses and keeping our hard earned money in the community. This includes retail stores and restaurants, but it's even more! It means using local accountants, banks and credit unions, realtors, insurance companies, media companies, transportation. . . the list goes on and on. When we support local businesses it means more jobs, less impact on the environment, and better customer service. All resulting in a strong local economy.
