Sharing this event. I have been associated as a consultant with PathLight Law in my efforts to incubate consumer cooperatives. The subject matter of the webinar is very timely. I have been tinkering with a variation on the Diversified Community Investment Fund chassis as described in the National Coalition of Community Capital's DCIF page (see link). My variation should be applicable to any type of Community Investment Fund. https://lnkd.in/gPHDiWaU My concept emphasizes the consumer and it incorporates financial incentives that would encourage broad based "consumers initiated" efforts. Also, my variation seeks to catalyze "alternatives" resulting in "community affluence development" as opposed to community economic development (I would be happy to chat about the distinction). Arranging the quoted terms in a particular order results in: C - Consumer I - Initiated C - Community A - Affluence D - Development A - Alternatives So, my variation is referred to as a CICADA Community Investment Fund. The rollout of the first versions are getting underway and they focus geographically on school districts in Ohio and Florida as "catchment areas." If "Community Affluence" is of a concern, then let's connect. And, of course, I would recommend connecting with the professionals at PathLight Law for any impact enterprise capital formation needs that might arise. PathLight Law
