Generating capital is about much more than just money.

It’s about how your community can generate sustainable income and funding sources—that support the cost of living and helps families, local businesses and the community to thrive.

It’s about finding ways to save money, building a buffer for tough times and reducing dependence on outside funding.

It’s about growing the capital you already have, so you can invest in what matters most—like infrastructure, services, and future opportunities.

It’s about sharing and redistributing resources within the community, so that those with more can help strengthen the whole.

And it’s not just financial. It’s also about generating the assets your community needs to live well:
🏠 Land, buildings, and housing
🌿 Natural resources
🏭 Infrastructure and facilities
🛠️ Local businesses, equipment, and services
🎨 Intellectual property, creative assets, and cultural capital

It’s about communities owning and governing these assets—and leading the creation of new ones, like affordable housing, renewable energy, and place-based enterprises.

If you’re working to build a more self-reliant, resilient, and equitable future in your community, this session is for you.

👉 Join us Thursday and be part of the growing movement for locally-led capital solutions.

You may be working to support your own community or helping others.
