RegenCAN
FD+ Markets
A RegenCAN FD+ Market is a flea-market with Independent FD+ Fundraisers as stallholders. All activities, food, goods and services are sold using the FD+ token. In other words, only indigent persons who have earned FD+ tokens can purchase anything at the RegenCAN FD+ Markets.
N.B. Access to a RegenCAN FD+ Market costs 1 FD+ token.
Importantly, at the RegenCAN FD+ Markets, Independent FD+ Fundraisers get to meet FD+ Compact workers face-to-face and vice versa. This is a great way to destigmatise poverty and to build a sense of unity at the same time. Significant co-branding opportunities exist for Independent FD+ Fundraisers.
Furthermore, the RegenCAN FD+ Markets are also a great way for FD+ Compact members to meet each other. Members meeting each other face-to-face and exchanging contact details is key to optimising the reach of the micro BLITZ Time Exchange.
The Start-up Phase -- Anomalies
During the start-up phase (until a local RegenCAN Chapter’s members reach 100), the Independent FD+ Fundraisers, the RegenCAN FD+ Markets, and the NPO Charity Shops will be the only FD+ Compact outlets to be activated. Regenerative Systems will manage a local RegenCAN Chapter until it reaches 100 members.
A CBO will manage all of a local RegenCAN Chapter’s fundraising & finances, etc. from 100 to 1,000 threshold.
Community Food Gardens and RegenCAN Market Gardens will be activated when RO*FOOD Market Garden System (MGS) sponsors reach 200. RO*FOOD MGS sponsors pay R100 per month to the RO*FOOD Market Garden Development Fund.
The more formal fundraising activities of a local RegenCAN Chapter, for example contact with corporate and international donors, etc. will only occur when a local RegenCAN Chapter is a registered NPO. The registration process will begin when their members reach 1,000.
