Theory of Change — A brief, logical flow: If we do X, it will cause Y, which leads to Z (our vision).
Many individuals face economic instability, relational stress, and systemic abuse, limiting freedom, wellbeing, and participation in communities.
Existing social safety nets are often fragmented, inaccessible, or do not account for social and relational vulnerabilities.
Standard redistribution models do not fully explore how community structures can both support and protect participants.
Economic security is foundational to freedom.
Communities thrive when individuals are protected from sudden financial loss and relational exploitation, and have tools to flee or shield themselves from abusive systems.
Affinity groups can foster deeper solidarity, experimental redistribution, and mechanisms for safety, creating sub-networks of mutual care.
Financial resources: participant contributions, grants, donations
Human resources: board, staff, volunteers
Operational systems: income reporting tools, redistribution algorithms, buffer funds
Community structures: monthly conversations, affinity groups, safety protocols
Safety & agency tools: participant-controlled exit/re-entry mechanisms
Research & Evaluation: monitoring outcomes, testing models, documenting best practices
Global applicability tools: frameworks for Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) adjustments to ensure fair support across countries
Collect a base contribution from participants and redistribute evenly according to PPP
Allow affinity groups to share a higher percentage among themselves, building solidarity and testing different income-sharing models
Implement exit/re-entry and safety protocols to protect participants from abusive financial or relational systems
Facilitate community engagement within base groups and affinity groups
Monitor and compare outcomes across groups to identify effective redistribution structures and safety mechanisms
Adjust payouts using PPP or local cost-of-living metrics for international participants, ensuring equitable economic support relative to local prices
Monthly base and optional affinity-group redistribution payments
Active engagement in community and affinity group conversations
Documented exit/re-entry and safety choices
Data on income stability, trust, wellbeing, and adaptability across contexts
Immediate financial relief and stability in local currency or PPP-adjusted value
Participants gain tools to protect themselves from economic and relational harm
