"National organizations do important work, but local giving lets you see exactly where your money lands. Donate to a local land trust and you can walk the trail it preserved."
"One organization I love is the Horizons Foundation, which operates like a venture philanthropy fund for community nonprofits. They provide seed money to scrappy, early-stage organizations doing on-the-ground work that bigger funders haven't discovered yet."
"Grab your morning coffee from an independent shop. This is the one with the weird art on the walls and the barista who cares about getting your extra-soy-latte-non-fat-mocha black coffee order right."
"Restaurants create gathering spaces, foot traffic, and jobs, and they're the first to feel it when spending drops. Sit down, stay longer than you planned, and tip generously."
The challenge encourages individuals to redirect their spending towards local businesses and organizations. By participating in Brio's Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt, individuals can make intentional choices that benefit their community. Local giving allows for tangible impacts, such as supporting local arts or environmental initiatives. The challenge includes tasks like buying coffee from independent shops, purchasing books from local bookstores, and dining at neighborhood restaurants. These actions foster community engagement and help sustain local economies.
