Our Approach

Building communities that build economies

Community collaboration

Ending poverty lies in building communities

Through Commitment Pooling, people have a way to exchange Community Asset Vouchers representing commitments for goods and services while incubating projects and businesses, without relying on scarce national currency and volatile markets. The CLC App now provides tools for accounts, vouchers, Offerings, Commitment Pools, transfers, and direct Pool swaps.

We envision prospering economies built by thriving communities

We envision a world where communities have the tools and agency to build their own prospering economies, using the abundance of their own resources and commitments rather than depending on scarce national currency. This work also supports ecosystem restoration and is continuously strengthened through open research.
