Invest In America: Reclaiming the Civic Economy Through National Invest In America Week™

The idea of investing in America has long animated federal economic policy. The Invest in America Act, part of the broader Biden administration’s Investing in America agenda, seeks to fund massive infrastructure upgrades, including roads, bridges, energy grids, and broadband access. According to house.gov, this Act supports not only modernization, but climate adaptation and job creation.

The seed of NIAW was planted in a legacy of service. NIVW’s founders launched a national observance in 2019 to elevate veteran-owned businesses, receiving federal trademark protection and entry into the U.S. Congressional Record (March 8, 2024). With participation in 19 U.S. states and 21 countries, NIVW quickly grew from symbolic advocacy to a globally syndicated, policy-aligned engine of economic storytelling and brand empowerment.
