Thank you to all of our supporters -- you kept The Local Crowd (TLC) Monadnock pedaling 4WARD & higher!

Leveraged our crowdfunding program to help local businesses respond to COVID-19 opportunities and challenges

• Launched TLC 4WARD, a campaign that empowered 253 individuals to support six local businesses that they don’t want to live without.  TLC 4WARD provided participating locally owned businesses with over $14K to weather the COVID-19 crisis, meet changes in community needs and seize new opportunities to forward a more local, green and fair economy in the Monadnock Region.
• Jump-started an online marketplace for our region’s locally owned businesses, called TLC Monadnock Mercantile, compiling local products, gift cards and takeout menus all in one site.
• Collectively raised over $110K from 950 supporters for seven crowdfunding campaigns in 2020.
  

Kept Shop Indie Local efforts alive locally and nationally

• Served as program manager for Shop Indie Local, a program of the American Independent Business Alliance, that boosted the success of Plaid Friday and Cider Monday in our region and throughout the nation.
