Common Good promotes democratic economics to shift power to communities—away from big business and big government. We can choose together what to fund, with investments or grants, to build renewable energy production, provide for people's basic needs, support the arts—whatever we see as important in a Common Good Economy. 

We pioneered this beginning in 2013. Our system is a way for us to pay each other and give each other credit in our community, with comprehensive information and oversight of the local economy. The result is more money to go around. More money for you, more money for local businesses, more money for the community.

Why is Common Good the answer?
As a community, it is often hard to find money to pay for things. With Common Good we can fund whatever we need. 

That means more funding for our schools and nonprofits and more funding for small local businesses. It means we can afford good food and clean air and water. It means startup funding for regional energy production, telecommunications, or food storage, creating hundreds of good jobs for local people.

It means we can look out for our own—our children, elders, and disabled—and create a community that works for everyone.
