Invest Local Season 2026

Invest Local Season (July-September) is an exploration of the ways individuals, business leaders, and funders can consciously and equitably support our community's emerging entrepreneurs. This campaign highlights the Lowcountry Kiva Hub as a tool for expanding access to capital and fostering local economic growth and includes our annual Move Your Money Week, which raises awareness of local financial institutions.

Move Your Money Week
August 31 - September 4, 2026
As an integral part of Invest Local Season, Move your Money Week is Lowcountry Local First's annual effort to focus attention on the importance of banking local. You work hard for the money you earn so why not put your money with an institution that shares your values? Let’s work together to stop money wandering and keep it with those who live and work here.
