The 3/50 Project

The 3/50 ProjectThe 3/50 Project is a national consumer awareness movement that encourages residents to support locally owned, independent brick and mortar merchants in their community.  “For every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures.”  For complete details, visit www.the350project.net

How The 3/50 Project Works

Consumers choose three (3) locally owned, independent brick and mortar merchants (retailers, eateries, service providers, etc.) they love and don't want to lose, then commit $50 of their current monthly spending toward doing business with those merchants. Doesn't have to be new money or additional money--they can be dollars already in the budget!
