Resources

We've decided to only include resources below that are directly relevant to the Not-for-Profit Economy model. But there are lots of great resources on other organizations' websites, when it comes to wider ideas about building a more sustainable economy, such as degrowth, the wellbeing economy, and the social solidarity economy.

We see all of these movements and ideas as compatible with the Not-for-Profit Economy. Indeed, we don't see how any of these inspiring movements can create a truly sustainable future without a not-for-profit transition. Along those lines, we can recommend the following organizations' websites for further resources:
