What is the Finance Lab?

Many citizen collectives face financial concerns. They ultimately want to become financially independent and build a solid position.

The Finance Lab brings together representatives from financial institutions with experience working with citizen collectives. This includes a number of banks, funds, and sponsors.

The goal of the Finance Lab is to better serve citizen collectives. Financial institutions sharing their knowledge and experiences with each other and providing feedback through the lab is helpful in achieving this. A key success factor is a good understanding of both the financial needs of citizen collectives and their impact on (social) society and the economy.

The financial roadmap (in preparation!) is the Finance Lab's first practical tool. It guides you through the various forms, options, and conditions of financing. This roadmap was developed in collaboration between CollectieveKracht and the lab's participants. More such tools may be developed later.

Please note: the Finance Lab does not mediate in specific financing needs. However, the roadmap can help you find financing that suits your citizen collective's situation.
