Group Go Around Proposal
This is a proposal for a Tier 3 Lending Circle or Money Go Around.Proposed start date November 20, 2015.
Proposed cycle:
Nov/2015 T.Owens, Dec/2015 S. Denson, January/2016 L. Bray, February/2016 L.Hurst, March/2016 L.Koboka (April sharing cycle starts again with $30).
$20 a month
$80 total contributions per cycle to designated member.
Lending Circles or Money Go Around generally refers to a group of people who pool money on a regular basis, and provide rotating loans to circle members.A small group of people come together, agree on how much they will put into the general fund each month, and they hold each other to it. Let’s say a group of five people agreed to contribute $10 per month for five months, at the end of each month, one person from the group gets $50. You keep going until everyone has had a chance at the $50. In our groups case we would contribute $20 into the circle and each month a member would be paid $80. We can increase it with the next cycle after the first go around. A lending circle of this model can provide immediate access to funds in times of need. Lending circles also ensure that our dollars are used to instantly benefit members of our community, rather than going to a large bank that likely invests the funds in Wall Street. Lending circles offer a way for small groups to be their own banks, in essence.There is an organizer for the group who makes sure everyone makes their contributions on time, collects the contributions and also distributes payments to the members and keeps track of whose turn it is to receive a distribution.
