Community¶
Grassroots Economics is a community of practitioners, stewards, engineers, educators, researchers, lawyers, translators, volunteers, and local groups working with Economic Commons, Community Asset Vouchers, and Commitment Pools.
This section explains how to participate, how we work together, and how the roadmap is governed.
Ways to participate¶
- Community groups and practitioners: Start or improve a Commitment Pool, create a Community Asset Voucher, document field practice, and share what works.
- Stewards and field teams: Support workshops, onboarding, stakeholder engagement, training, monitoring, and local governance.
- Technical contributors: Improve Sarafu Network, software tools, data systems, wallets, maps, reports, integrations, and open-source infrastructure.
- Educators and designers: Turn the concepts into clear learning materials, games, training flows, stories, translations, and visuals.
- Researchers: Study resource coordination, impact, settlement, community resilience, ecological outcomes, and data governance.
- Legal and policy contributors: Strengthen Economic Commons agreements, licenses, privacy policies, safeguards, and compliance practices.
- Supporters and partners: Seed Commitment Pools, support ecosystem restoration, fund open infrastructure, or partner on implementation.

Support, bounties, and rewards¶
Grassroots Economics Foundation and aligned partners may identify grants, bounties, Community Asset Vouchers, or other support for work that strengthens Economic Commons and Commitment Pools. Support can also be practical: accept a community voucher, create one redeemable for your own services, seed a pool, share training, improve documentation, or contribute to open-source tools.
