Closing Notes
Thank you for your interest in Mutual Aid!
The Madison MAN Cooperative is an experiment in do-it-ourselves grassroots human-scale, life-nourishing economic development. We're aiming for self-sufficient interdependency and one way we can achieve that is by relying on members to contribute to their ability, whether it's in dollars, time, or other credit or material contributions. If you are able to donate monetarily and/or pay member fees, please do so here.
Please contact us with any questions or ideas.
