How OUR Community Dollar™ Works
Community businesses and consumers can take part in this exciting concept through membership participation. They can acquire OUR Community Dollars as a benefit of membership and then can spend these dollars as partial or full payment for goods and services offered by participating businesses.
OUR Community Dollar currency is intended as a tool for local community economic development as well as a focus for personal relationship building and community building and local resiliency.
The merchants accepting the OUR Community Dollar can then spend the money they accepted. The OUR Community Dollar is not a coupon but a form of currency that works in conjunction with the federal monetary system. Is not legal tender and is not backed by national currency.
