Dear Cliff;
MFP has been the tool box for local businesses around the world for so many years, don't you agree that there will be a vacuum of information, networking, community building… when it ends? Green Money and your work with socially conscious investing has also been a stalwart upholder of small and socially conscious business.
I'm wondering if Calvert and some other social investment groups which have healthy annual profit margins could set aside a small fund to carry on the work of MFP including whatever nuances will update its effectiveness.
Socially responsible investing, community owned revolving funds, community owned credit unions and their respective networks, new local and tribal industries, trading and markets that will soon be emerging as we struggle to recover and create more balanced local financial institutions after COVID will need a place to grow and help communities pull together again into a new balance.
Green Money's dedication and track record seems to me to be a good candidate to help fill the MFP vacuum.
