Locals Care: $116,000 to nonprofits $5million plus to businesses

Published by makinart at 11:44 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

The City of Santa Fe Economic Development Department has launched the ‘Buy Into It’ Campaign. They are asking for consumers to spend their money in Santa Fe, versus online or in other cities.
We support this idea of keeping dollars local.

The City of Santa Fe would like to publicly recognize some of those people who have made the choice to ‘Buy into Santa Fe’. The City of Santa Fe is asking residents to voluntarily submit the amount they are spending locally, and may recognize them in local advertising. If you would like Locals Care to submit your name and total volume of local spending on your behalf, please reply to this email and let us know you would like to participate. We will do the rest.

When You Shop Local at least Once a Week, something Special Happens…

When you shop at a participating Locals Care merchant, you of course know that part of your transaction is donated by the merchant to the nonprofit you have selected. But did you also know, that every time you visit a merchant in the Locals Care network, you are increasing tax receipts? You are making sure your dollars recirculate longer within our economy, generating more money for parks, police and fire support, and the Santa Fe River. In fact, a recent study by Dr. David Blond, Principal at Query International and former Chief Economist at the Pentagon during the Carter and Reagan administrations, demonstrated that Locals Care has generated an estimated additional $500,000 in tax revenue for the City of Santa Fe! WOW! What a difference shopping local can make!

Support locally owned businesses, and Support your nonprofit!
This is your program. You have chosen the nonprofit to support. You have chosen where to spend your money.

From all of us at Locals Care, Thank you… for doing something special.
