Merchant Organizing
Business owners are stronger together: join a Merchant association.
Strong local businesses help build strong communities.
NIDC works with local business owners to form and grow merchant associations that reflect the needs and voices of their neighborhoods. We provide hands-on support in areas like fundraising, area marketing, outreach to fellow merchants, and organizing committees.
Our team offers technical assistance through every phase, from startup to board development to long-term strategy.
