There are enterprises across the United States that prioritize people and the planet over profit. They are creating real solutions to the social and environmental challenges we face. Instead of extracting resources to benefit a few, they reinvest in their purpose.
When we choose products and services from these enterprises—and encourage others to do the same—we become part of that change. We channel money into local economies, where it can continue to circulate.
Want to use your purchasing power to build economies that put people and planet first?
Visit the Community Directory and Marketplace to find enterprises across the country. Go to Places to support and develop local purchasing initiatives.
Purchasing with Purpose brings together enterprises, partner networks, public and private change makers, and other supporters. By working together, we are able to increase visibility and open opportunities that no single network or organization could access on its own.

Purchasing with Purpose helps bridge these divides, so it’s easier to find and connect with enterprises that are strengthening their communities and creating a better world.
