Not all businesses are extractive.
Not all nonprofits are grant dependent.
Choosing People and Planet
We are social enterprises, cooperatives, nonprofit businesses, fair trade enterprises, benefit corporations, steward-owned companies, post-growth enterprises, regenerative businesses, faith-based enterprises, local green businesses, member organizations, and networks in the United States, and we choose people and the planet over profit.

Stronger Together
Purchasing with Purpose is a collective effort to increase the visibility of these enterprises, support them through our purchasing power, and build a resilient economy that puts people and planet first.
The Purchasing with Purpose map and directory bring together different networks and communities so it’s easier to find enterprises in your local area or working on issues you care about.
Are you part of a US enterprise or initiative that prioritizes people and the planet? Want to be included in the map and the directory?
Building the Next Economy
In the United States, we spend nearly 40 trillion dollars on products and services every year. Every purchase is an opportunity. Instead of sending our money to extractive corporations, we can support enterprises that benefit people and the planet and reinvest in our communities and our future.
Enterprises in the directory are now able to add free marketplace listings to make their offerings more visible and share them across platforms.
For this to work, we need everyone’s help to fill in the gaps. Do you know any enterprises or initiatives that should be included?

Partners are member organizations and other networks that are helping create the next economy. By coming together, we are able to increase the visibility of the broader movement and open opportunities that no single network or organization could open on its own. The goal is to amplify and strengthen ongoing work.
