Lucky Ant

Remember when that brand name replaced your favorite cafe or a big box retailer took over the mom and pop grocery store you grew up with? Lucky for us, one new project thinks it’s time to crowdfund a better future for the local businesses we all love.

Just launched in New York City, Lucky Ant is like Kickstarter for your community. But, instead of funding short films and art projects, you help support improvements to your favorite neighborhood hot spots. Whether it's sponsoring an outdoor patio for the cafe around the corner or even helping a local high school build a student-run restaurant, this is your chance to help build the community of your dreams.

Jump on board and be the first to tell your friends. Even though Lucky Ant is brand new and still a bit green, we think this little guy has a whole lot of potential.
