Check out CommonSpace!
SBN has partnered with Azavea, William Penn Foundation and NPower to launch CommonSpace, a search engine+map site to help you find local businesses and events across Philadelphia. Just give Commonspace a few details (your address, how far you are willing to travel, mode of transportation) and it pops out a list of things to do in a snap. It’s just a preview site so expect listings to be more extensive in the months to come.
Coming Soon...
This summer, we are excited to be working on a brand new website, projected to go live on September 1st. The new website will make it much easier for shoppers to search for local and sustainable businesses, businesses to find out about SBN educational programs, and there will be a whole new site for Members Only with lots of resources. We are offering a special sponsorship package tied to the website launch - click here to find out how to get your company logo on our new homepage!
