How to Join

The 3rd R - Redistribute Power: as a collective we offer two options for participating in our eco-system, Membership and Affiliation.

The Hozho Collective is modeled after the Mondragon Cooperative in Spain. It is a group of independent organizations aligned around philosophy and practice.

As a collective we align around the philosophy of Living System Design. We bring this to life through the practice of Contributionism. Organizations can join the collective by becoming a member (formal) or an affiliate (informal).

Through membership you’re actively engaged with our work. There is a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which defines our mutual contribution. As an affiliate you align with our work while maintaining your own sovereignty. You demonstrate this by taking our Pledge of Contribution.

In both cases you’re invited to join our online community.

Who Can Join

4th R - Reorganize Yourself: our practice is the implementation of new people/planet focused legal and financial structures.

The organizations we accept must be organized around financial and legal structures that benefit people and the planet over profit. This is a list of acceptable structures and we recognize others may exists. If you want to see if your organization qualifies, contact us through our Member or Affiliate forms.

Social Impact 501(c)3

Consumer/Member cooperatives are operate for the benefit of the community. The community members have access to the products/services at a lower rate than the general public.
