Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! We kicked off this short week by doing exactly what the holiday says—laboring our tails off. 😂

What some of you may not know is that the building that will soon be home to Our Little Town is pretty special all on its own. It’s a registered historic property here in Jefferson County, and we have the privilege of bringing it back to life.

So while we’ve been busy dreaming up our tiny little community, there’s been a whole lot happening behind the scenes, too. We’ve been researching, planning, and working with contractors to figure out how to preserve the historic character and architecture of this building while giving new life to a space that hasn’t been used in a long, long time.

It may take us a little longer to do it the right way, but this place deserves that—and so do you guys. Thank you for being patient with us while we work through all the details. We can’t wait for these old walls to be filled with little footsteps, big imaginations, and a whole lot of life again. ❤️

💚📣 Just when you thought Downtown Leeds couldn’t get any cuter… THE FLOCK IS HERE! 🪿💚

The OLT Flock has officially suited up and is ready to ROLL GREEN WAVE! 🏈📣💚🤍

You’ll find these little cheerleaders popping up inside some of our favorite Downtown Leeds small businesses throughout football season. When you spot one, snap a picture and TAG THE SMALL BUSINESS where you found it! 📸🪿

It’s school spirit. It’s small business support. It’s community. And it’s one more fun reason to get out and explore our little town. 💚🏘️

Now the only question is… how many members of the flock can you find? 👀🪿📣

Welcome to Our Little Town. ❤️

While we’re building Our Little Town, we’re bringing the vibe to life one adventure at a time.

The greatest ideas are inspired by real-life experiences, and one of our littles is already making memories with her Dee every Wednesday, shopping downtown together, exploring local businesses, and filling her bag with little treasures. That simple tradition inspired the Our Little Town Loop.

These canvas bags are designed to teach children real-life commerce by letting them shop, choose an item, hand it to the cashier, pay for it, and proudly place their purchase in their very own shopping bag. Simple moments like these build confidence, independence, and an appreciation for shopping local.

Now we’re giving these bags away so your little one can create their own Our Little Town Loop while exploring their town, meeting local business owners, and discovering all the unique places that make a community special.

Starting August 1, you can pick up an Our Little Town bag at The Burrow Bookstore in Leeds to start your adventure!

If your business would like to help us hand out bags or if you’d like to start this in your little town, we’d love to hear from you. Shoot us a PM.

The best small towns aren’t built by accident. They’re built by local businesses, a supportive community, familiar faces, and the little things that turn an ordinary day into a memory.

✨We want Our Little Town to be a place where children make memories and small businesses become destinations. ✨

That’s what this is really about.

💡 Because great communities start where ideas grow.

People often ask what The Incubator Foundation actually does…

We are where ideas go to grow.

Too many good ideas die before they ever have a chance. Some never find the right people. Some never find funding. Some get mismanaged, misappropriated, voted out due to inside agendas, or are just poorly executed. Others simply don’t have a place where they can be nurtured into something meaningful.

That’s why we exist.
We help turn ideas into action.

Sometimes that means teaching a small business owner how to market their business, understand their finances, or collaborate with others. Sometimes it means helping a community group organize a project or connecting people with resources. Sometimes it’s as simple as teaching practical life skills that help people become more capable and confident.

And sometimes it means helping others discover creative and appropriate ways to invest in the places they call home. Strong communities aren’t built by one person or one organization. They’re built when people understand how to work together, support one another, and create opportunities that benefit everyone.

At our core, we’re an education organization.

We teach practical life skills, business skills, and community skills. We mentor. We connect. We encourage collaboration. We help people see that a good idea can become something bigger and more impactful when it has the right support behind it.

We also believe donors deserve to know where their money goes.

The people who invest should be able to see the results of that investment. They should know their dollars were used wisely and that their contribution created something meaningful. We stand on transparency, accountability, and measurable impact.

And if a donor wants, they can choose from a menu of projects just like ordering from a restaurant. They can choose the projects that mean most to them, then watch them come to life.

Because the real magic is in helping good ideas become real projects that improve lives.

We’re not trying to build an organization.

We’re building capable people, stronger businesses, stronger families, and stronger communities.

Where ideas go to grow.
