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. We are working to combine a community of mutual social support, a network of cooperatively owned businesses, and a strong infrastructure that provides facilities, equipment as well as financial and technical services. These three structures foster the holistic foundation needed to keep wealth local and create opportunity.
