DollarVote gives you the first independent score — CEIS™ — that reveals how local, sustainable, and fair any business really is. So you can spend on purpose, without spending a cent more.
Maybe you tune out the noise — you just want a good cup of coffee and a hardware store that's there when you need it. That's exactly the point. Every time you spend, you're shaping which businesses survive. The only question is whether you get to see it before the bakery closes and the corner you loved becomes a parking lot.
DollarVote is for the person who never wanted to think about it — and the person who didn't realize their everyday choices already added up to real impact. It's a quiet, growing movement of people who simply decided to spend awake.
The Community & Economic Impact Score is the first proven, independent rating system built for shoppers and businesses alike. One simple number, 0–100, that reveals how much a business gives back to your community, your state, and your country — no greenwashing, no spin, no agenda.
The higher the score, the more a business keeps your money working locally, treats its people well, and tells you the truth about where your dollar goes.
