Common Agency empowers local stewards to manage neighborhood networks and funds, facilitating collective decision-making and actions using digital and face-to-face engagement for community improvement.

Common Agency helps people self-organize their neighborhoods.

We work with local 'Network Stewards' who guide the governance of local 'Neighborhood Networks' and 'Neighborhood Funds.'

Our Neighborhood Networks use digital tools to coordinate neighbors and get them meeting face-to-face, making decisions, and taking collective actions together.

Neighbors who are active both online and offline are invited to participate in allocating their Neighborhood Funds. These can be structured as participatory budgeting, microgrants, loans, mutual aid incentives, and any number of techniques/combinations. We as Common Agency provide exposure and connections with folks who have tried various techniques, so Network Stewards can decide how to move forward.

Join us in working towards a world where we are all proud of where we grow up and grow old.
