The Business Alliance for Local Living Economies builds Local Living Economies in North America that foster vibrant communities, a healthy natural environment, and prosperity for all. We do this by:

• Catalyzing, strengthening, and connecting networks of locally-owned, independent businesses;
• Providing education and community economic development tools; and
• Developing and promoting public policies that enable Local Living Economies to thrive.

Small-Mart.org is part of the BALLE family of initiatives.
