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 someone earns by volunteering at a soup kitchen or farm could be used to hire a baby sitter at a standard rate. Or 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.
Are you feeling that your business is limited by the scarcity of the US dollar? 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 a volunteer force for community service.
Many hands make light work, and volunteers who are rewarded and honored for their service could transform this region. Participation and service will be the cornerstone of our new local economy. Finally, human energy can focus back into the community without depleting personal resources.
Everyone will have an important role in helping our region to develop a sustainable economy in this complex and volatile age.
