American Independent Business Alliance
Link:
AMIBA 
The American Independent Business Alliance is a national 501c3 non-profit organization helping communities launch and successfully operate an Independent Business Alliance® (IBA), "buy independent, buy local" campaigns, and other efforts to support community enterprise.
These alliances work to build vital local economies based on independent, locally-owned businesses and prevent chain proliferation and other trends from displacing local entrepreneurs. IBAs unite locally-owned independent businesses, citizens and community organizations to achieve this goal.
Interested in exploring an Independent Business Alliance for your community? We work with organizers, whether you're a business owner or a dedicated citizen, to get and keep you going.
