Invest Local by SCCF (6/7)
June 7, 2018 | 6 pm - 8 pm | The Golden Pony, Harrisonburg
Invest Local is a chance for local project makers to pitch their ideas to local investors.
Buy local, play local, invest local. The number one reason we've seen folks choose to Invest Local is to support and help build the type of community and economy we want to live in. From small businesses to our next door neighbor, there are many local voices working to build a better community who aren't being fully served by local banks or other financial institutions. Local Investing connects local needs with local resources for a more vibrant, interconnected community.
