Learn about community capital funding strategies that can put your community in the driver's seat as you build your outdoor recreation economy.
Webinar Outline
Community capital includes a broad range of tools from crowdsourcing to crowdfunding to community investment funds — all of which put power in the hands of individuals, not institutions, and allow communities to have a bigger say in what the local economy looks like, who and what gets funded, and who benefits. We'll explore how to use community capital strategies to support local businesses and housing for locals that are part of the outdoor recreation economy.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand what community capital is and how it differs from traditional funding sources.
- Identify common challenges faced by outdoor recreation communities that could be addressed by community capital solutions.
- Understand how outdoor recreation communities and businesses are using community capital approaches to enhance prosperity and well-being.
