Grantcoin cryptocurrency that supports Basic Income
http://www.grantcoin.org/foundation/mission/
Official response from Jon Norcross startedWe tried to work with GrantCoin, but they didn't want to actually do anything; they expected us to do all the work to go through with an integration that would allow users to use the GrantCoin currency to obtain membership.
Additional Comment from Transition Team Member:
If you would like for us to be able to accept Grancoin (which is now called Manna through Hedge for Humanity) please write them directly ([email protected]) and request that they finish the work Jon started. The more people who submit a request the more this becomes a priority to them. Thanks- Nicole Bienfang, Transition Team Seed

Creative financing for new farmers ....
Increasing numbers of farmers are exploring creative ways to acquire capital for farm operations. The following pages detail options and considerations for crafting unconventional nancial arrangements that have been used in other sectors of the economy, but might be new to the agricultural sector. We guide the reader through basic legal issues relevant to farmers and community members when pursuing these arrangements. We highlight several mechanisms that allow for creativity and customization of nancial transactions at the neighbor-to-farmer or farmer-to- community-member level: • the promissory note • the owner- nanced land sale, • equity nancing • revenue-based nancing • the “multi-year” CSA • share leases www.thegreenhorns.net THEGREENHORNS.NET
Official response from Nicole Bienfang incompleteIs this your organization? If not do you have a point of contact for this organization? Are you actively involved with this organization? Can you make an introduction?

Our Trust
After reading this, please endorse below as The Transition sees YOU as one of our many beneficiaries.
Intent: We unite and empower people to take positive action towards enhancing and protecting all life and our environment for future generations.
Purpose: Our purpose is to construct real solutions by providing the support, space, and resources for the common heritage of the Earth's resources and to do so via our collective knowledge. We are committed to building community projects that promote organic farming, alternative transportation, clean drinking water, renewable energy, green building, and using music and the arts to convey the message.
With a special focus on street-involved youth and families living in poverty, we encourage community involvement through collaborative volunteerism, education, programs and media events. We help others enhance their food and housing security, learn life skills, and build confidence to make the transition to a more sustainable lifestyle - leading to a Global Egalitarian System for the good of all.
We strive to create an inclusive community where all members have the skills, confidence, and support to live a healthy life. It is our pledge to each other and to the world we are creating, to help each other live life to the fullest.
Our method of collaboration within our Transition Inter-Community Network is based on scientific benchmarks to meet everyone's’ needs - instead of what’s most profitable - therefore exchange between members requires no monetary attachment.
