Description
So many communities like Troy, NY suffer from poverty, unemployment, and disempowerment. Margination is developing a unique sustainable solution to these problems.
Our non-profit is an umbrella organization building a model to renew the local economy.

These three structures foster the holistic foundation needed to keep wealth local and create opportunity.
