$150

How a group organizes itself, gets money in, decides things and protects the pool. Every other template sits on this one.

• A group that can hold money together without one person holding it
• A written answer to how money gets in, before anyone raises any
• A record of what everyone put in, in money, time, loans or use of things
• A plan for what happens to anything left over, made before there is any

$85

A few people getting a place together, bought or rented between them, used by all of them.

• A place nobody really lives in, that becomes the community center
• Pitched into together, accessed by everyone who did
• A steward keeps it; the group decides it

$85

Starting and running gatherings, paid for between you rather than fronted by one person.

• Events as something you put on together, not something you turn up to
• Money pooled before it is spent
• A rhythm people can count on

$150 a route, the same for each of the five

An economy can be started on purpose, by a group, out of what that group already has.

• One project
• Many businesses, one pool
• A gifted start
• Land rich, cash poor
• Partner with a place that exists
