The Benefits
OurNexChange will benefit YOU and our community as a whole.
Individuals can make purchases and neighborly trades through their personal currency accounts.
In serving your community, the abundance begins to flow. The units earned by helping at a soup kitchen or farm can be used to hire a baby sitter at a standard rate. Individuals can move their units to the commercial marketplace to purchase from local businesses.
Local businesses can make on-line sales in a combination of complementary currency units and US Dollars.
Most businesses have underutilized resources that can be turned into profit. Through complementary currency, your business can reach new markets of engaged community members, while still covering your fixed costs. Buy from a network of local suppliers, and reduce your US dollar expenditures.
Community organizations can use the system to mobilize and reward community service.
Participation and service will be the cornerstone of our new local economy. Those who offer their service at less than market value can finally be rewarded so that good work can continue without depleting personal resources.
Everyone will have an important role in helping our region to develop a sustainable economy.
