Fostering Santa Monica!

Just a few days ago, we started a campaign, Fostering Social Economies, partnering with local Santa Monica based businesses to foster small business growth right here at home and all around the world! With every $25 you give to one of the three remaining entrepreneurs on our site, you receive exclusive discounts to local stores in Santa Monica. In this way, you can support small businesses everywhere!

For the small business owners in India like Mrs. Selvi, who runs her own salt and rangoli powder (used for traditional decorations), this means she can grow her business to new heights by using more advanced transportation to expand her reach in 10-15 new villages.

Mr. Gobi can expand his wholesale business to include new varieties of products for local shops along a busy highway in Chennai.

Santha will finally reach the demand for her quality handcrafted furniture business run out of her own home.

And in Santa Monica, business owner Tony, who runs his 26-year-old family local grocery store,  One Life Natural Foods, can stay competitive even in a bad recession.

At the end of the day, we realize that it’s all about the social connection. “Thriving small businesses build communities and solve problems, too.”

These kinds of connections are what we’re trying to build with our campaign. We are growing not just these business owners, but also their surrounding community by creating jobs and empowering families.
