Finance under community control<\/h4>\n

Seed Commons is a national network of locally-rooted,
\nnon-extractive loan funds that brings the power of big finance under community control. By taking guidance from the grassroots and sharing capital and resources to support local cooperative businesses, we are building the infrastructure necessary for a truly just, democratic and sustainable new economy.<\/h5>\n
Seed Commons is based on the model, <\/span>experience and infrastructure<\/span> of The Working World, leveraging our 15 year history for impact across the country.<\/span><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1452107773285{margin-top: -80px !important;margin-bottom: -100px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1485288767187{padding-top: -30px !important;padding-bottom: -30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]\n
