Who Is Look Local First?
Look Local First is a nonprofit that celebrates and supports small businesses through fun, community-driven events and creative campaigns. From First Fridays that give back to small business owners to seasonal pop-ups to small business spotlights, we’re here to help local makers, creators, and entrepreneurs thrive.
Every dollar we raise goes back into uplifting small businesses, growing this movement, and creating opportunities that make a real difference.
Let’s build stronger communities by supporting the locals who make them great.

Did you know?
Every dollar you spend locally makes a real impact! Here’s why:
- $68 of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community.
- Shopping at big chains? That number drops to $43.
- Online shopping? Almost nothing stays local.
That’s why we’re spreading the Look Local First message — because strong communities start with strong small businesses. When you shop small, you’re not just making a purchase — you’re making a difference.
