Becoming a Green Giving Member!!!
Welcome. You have chosen to be a Giving Member.
You’re going to help start a revolution in building. The world won’t be able to thank you enough.
First of all I must tell you that your money will not just help this Idea Project, it will help the next and the next and the next.
You’ll influence generations. And the buildings will last hundreds of years.
You can speak with pride when you show your friends and family, the pictures of the many different versions of the Extreme Green Cooperative Housing Idea Projects. And you helped start them all.
Become a Giving Member
A Giving Member: Gives money to the Project and gets a tax deduction. (The legal steps have yet to be addressed.)
This money will be used as seed money and to fund the Small Demonstration Project.
(see Time Challenges and the Small Demonstration Project on the right column.)
The goal is to receive enough Giving Member money so we can build the Small Demonstration Project.
During the build procedure, we will test out and develop all the teamwork processes, supports, techniques and methods necessary to build the full scale Idea Project with mainly sweat equity volunteers.
After the build process for the Small Demonstration Project is finished, we will run tours. In addition we will develop supporting Green businesses until the full scale Extreme Green Cooperative Housing Idea Project is ready to go.
There are two types of Giving Members.
The first type is a Giving Member who wants to go to meetings and come to the Idea Project to work. They may want to learn to be an Assistant Shift Manager or a Shift Manager. They may want to accrue contributed work hours and use them at a later date. (See Interesting Note: below)
Or a Giving Member could even live in another country and still support.
There is another reason to be a Loaning Member or a Giving Member. Your money can vote where the next Idea Project will go! (The legal steps have yet to be addressed.)
(check box) I’m voting with my money. I want an Idea Project in Address of City:
Austin, Texas or Madrid, Spain or Exeter, RI
This website will have a long page of chosen cities Loaning, and Giving Members have chosen. And how much money has been Given, Loaned and Saved.

Interesting Note: At the minimum $1000 total and regular contribution or payment of $100 a month or a total of $10,000 (the amounts may be different); a Giving Member, Loaning Member or Saving Coop Member have earned two benefits. (The legal steps have yet to be addressed.)
The first benefit is to have the option to work as an assistant shift manager and then a shift manager on the Green Idea Project.
And the second benefit is that all contributed hours, working shifts on the Idea Project will be counted and credited to you! Those contributed hours can be valuable. Later, a % of any surplus hours can be traded in for even off site work! (The legal steps have yet to be addressed.)
For example, a Loaning Member could contribute 17 hours a week for four years. That would be 3400 hours with 8 weeks off. If after the Idea Project had completed construction, that Loaning Member could trade in all the 3400 hours and receive 1400 hours of work from willing Coop Members (as payment in full) to build a small Green lake house on a weekend!
Note: This is an example, the % may be different, but you get the point.
