Where you spend your money IS someone else's business.

Even a small shift in the amount of money now spent with companies and
organizations outside the Rochester area, to companies and organizations
within the Rochester area, could make a sizable impact in revenue, jobs, and
salaries!

$132 million
Direct amount a spending shift of just 5% could add to the local economy
$186 million
Total economic impact the spending shift could have on our local economy
1,462
Number of new jobs that could be gained from a 5% spending shift to area companies and organizations

If you can't give it all, at least give 5%.

We don't expect everyone to shift 100% of their out-of-area purchases
to the Rochester area. But even a small shift in local spending would
make a big impact. Shifting 5% - just 5% - of your spending would add over $132 million a year to the local economy. That $132 million would cause a ripple
effect in our local economy and generate an economic impact of over
$186 million, resulting in new jobs …nearly 1,500!
