Current Projects

Right now our primary project is developing and printing the Local Options Directory.

Here are some ways you can get involved and help out with the Directory:

1. Donate your cash. Help us pay to print stickers and proposals, create our website and a brochure, as well as general advertising for the project. Estimated printing cost for the directory alone is just under $30,000.

2. Donate your time. Help us by donating some of your time to outreach to independent businesses.

3. Give in-kind donations. Can your business or organization help in some way besides donating cash? Let us know!

4. Become a member of the Humboldt Independent Business Alliance. If you own a local business or are interested in supporting local independents, show your commitment to this project by becoming a member of HumIBA. Click here for information about member benefits.
