We have a technical issue with our website that it's not accepting new accounts - so if you know people who want to join we'll go the old-fashioned route for now. Have them email info@madisonman.coop.



We are working on fixing this as soon as possible.

So, if you have easy access to dollars please give as much as you're able, and consider making it a regular automatic contribution, via Paypal.

If dollars aren't an option and you wish to contribute any other form of credit (hours - 1 hour of work = 1 hour of credit; MANY - 1 MANY = $1 worth of goods or services, never redeemable for cash; Common Good fee free wealth-pooling debit card tied to your bank account). Create a transaction with the Madison MAN Cooperative here.

Thanks for joining! Hope to see you at an orientation or other gathering soon

Thanks for your interest in the Common Fund and how The Madison MAN Coop Madison Mutual Aid Network | Madison MAN Co-op and others are growing our combined economic power to use in community. 

The Common Fund’s pool is accumulating at the Heartland Credit Union and its activities are tracked through Madison MAN Common Fund record-keeping spreadsheet. You will be added to the list of contributing members upon your first deposit. The spreadsheet shows the detailed standing of activity, balances, loans, and the overall pool available to the group as a whole for sociocratic-based decision making of how our community will benefit.

EveryWhere Gardens where we work collectively on the garden space of members who need help, building skills and sharing the bounty. This includes using and increasing access to commonly held tools and supplies.

Our budding Health + Care Network adopts models from other partner communities and is building our capacity to support people with disabilities, aging bodies, injuries, or illness, with the kinds of care they need. Our current priority is establishing Community Care Teams - read more and/or sign up here.

Community education is woven through all of these activities, each of which is open to the public at large and each of which creates opportunities for all the participants to decide together on their learning journey. We maintain a living archive of community learning sessions via shared recordings.

All of these activities earn the participants hour credits (timebanking) and we regularly offer swaps where members can exchange what they have for what they need, so members begin to engage in more reciprocal acts, building the community network, building skills and leadership, and building economic resilience. Every participant is a member, with a say in the governance and a stake in the ownership.

Feel free to join anything you see at our calendar.
