Your Impact — Coming Soon
When you shop from a small or diversely owned business, you're making a difference.
- For every $100 spent at a small business, $68 stays in the local economy (vs. less
that $5 when spent at a certain prime mega retailer). That means every dollar you
spend in your town has 1500% the positive impact on your town.
- Small businesses create 2 out of every 3 new jobs in the U.S., and good jobs =
healthy economies.
- And businesses owned by women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented founders
face persistent barriers to capital and visibility — making your support even more
powerful.
That's why WSECU is partnering with Goodbuy: to help you discover and support mission-driven
businesses more easily, and to connect your everyday purchases to something bigger.
Coming soon: a new feature that shows your community impact.
You'll be able to see how your spending supports your community — from the dollars
reinvested locally to the small businesses uplifted — alongside the collective impact of
all WSECU members.
Because where you shop is what you stand for.
And together, we can stand for a stronger,
more inclusive economy.
