Workshops Cover New Oregon Investment Law
More people are becoming interested in local investing as a way to support economic growth and stability in their communities. This change is being driven in part by an increased awareness of the significant impact that residents can make, re-directing even a small portion of their investments and savings from Wall Street to locally owned businesses. The Community Capital Initiative is not focused on accredited investors but on non-wealthy individuals who have some investment money and care about the region in which they live.
The NE Oregon Community Capital Collaborative and its Local Impact Investing Opportunity Network (LIION) affiliate are offering a series of workshops for people who want to learn more about local investing—as an investor, business owner, or both!
The Miller Charitable Fund and the Ward Family Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation, the Ford Family Foundation, and the Pacific Power Foundation have contributed to NEOEDD’s community capital and local-investing programming.
- Workshop 1 (Nov. 11) - Introduction to Local Investing: Describes local investing and its benefits, and new Oregon investing rules that will make it possible for non-wealthy people to invest in their neighbors and their community.
