31 - Investing in the Local Economy

Overdueing It: The Rhode Island Library Podcast

Host Emily chats with Jessica (@localreturnri), Andy (@capitalgoodfund) and Dominique (@one_neighborhoodbuilders) about investing in our local communities and economy. How, and why, do we ensure that our investments benefit our neighbors? Learn more about the ways these organizations are helping people put their money where their values are, and how recipients of that investment are able to thrive.
