Women's History Month is a great time to recognize the women in our lives and show our gratitude! There are numerous contributions women have provided to make our lives better and are often unappreciated and unnoticed. It isn’t just the most notable woman you may be thinking of, but also family members: mothers, sisters, and daughters. 
 

The theme of this year’s month-long observance in March is "Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories." Do you have a story you would like to share that celebrates a woman in your life? Please post on one of our social sites.

March 14 is International Crowdfunding Day! Celebrate by contributing to one of TLC’s awesome campaigns. We have a variety of campaigns running that need help reaching their funding goal. We appreciate your support of these small businesses looking to make a big impact in their community!

Successful crowdfunding campaigns celebrate a high return on investment—including a lot more benefits than the money raised! Your campaign can also help you:

• Focus your business plan & your message 
• Prove your concept in the marketplace 
• Pre-sell your products and services 
• Learn a lot!  
• Get a great deal of exposure 
• Expand your customer list 
• Ramp up for additional funding opportunities 
• Identify potential partners and collaborators  

Campaign success is not guaranteed, as worldwide statistics tell us that just about one in five campaigns succeed. Some of the national platforms perform better with up to 40% success rate. The Local Crowd has a 60% success rate!
