Over the last few years, I have worked on a project that has been one of the most intriguing and inspiring things I have ever been a part of: the creation and emergence of a community fund, from an idea to what became Kingston Common Futures.

Since September 2024, Amanda Cassiday has served with grace, wisdom, and unflagging energy as one of the Co-Directors of Kingston Common Futures...

Good Work Institute is thrilled to announce the culmination of a multi-year collaborative design process that tackled how to create a democratically-controlled community fund for the benefit of Kingston.

We are only a few months out from being able to publicly announce and then support the launch of a new community fund in Kingston!

I saw the future at the Cityscapes Summit, or at least, the future I hope to see in my lifetime: where equity is built into our economic systems from the ground up...

At its core, this project is about shifting power. As the first stage of the design process wraps, I’d like to share some reflections about my experience and perspective about power through the design process.

We are excited to announce that we’re exploring the creation of a community-designed, community-controlled fund.
