Fund Milwaukee (or Your City)

Do you really know where your 401(k), IRA, mutual fund or bank invests your money? What if even a small percentage of your investments funded local businesses? Let's take "buy local" to the next level and "invest local". Currently, there are very few local investment options that are accessible to mainstream investors. Fund Milwaukee envisions a new kind of investment opportunity designed to connect small, primarily non-accredited investors with social entrepreneurs dedicated to improving the well-being of society and the environment in Milwaukee. Fund Milwaukee will ensure that economic power resides locally—to the greatest extent possible—in order to sustain vibrant, livable communities and healthy ecosystems. Fund Milwaukee will engage average citizens in the creative process and shared risk of entrepreneurial problem solving. Fund Milwaukee will link and enhance the social and economic fabric of Milwaukee by learning and investing in each other one idea at a time, creating a transparent partnership in which we collaborate as investors and business owners to solve our social problems.  http://fundmilwaukee.com/
