That then makes … please – why we’re opting for an alternative pricing model

When your community makes your offering possible – Community Supported X

09. October 2026 13:00 Uhr - 4.30 pm Municipal Services, Jakobstr. 46, 09130 Chemnitz

Brief description

Are you involved in a club, a co-operative or a cultural project, and do you sometimes wonder how the whole thing could be put on a more stable financial footing? Together, we’ll explore how a principle similar to Community-Supported Agriculture can work for other projects too: a community shares the risk collectively, thereby securing funding. This form of funding is known as the ‘Community Supported X Model’ (CSX for short). The workshop will be led by Dr Kristin Reiß from the Leibniz Institute for Ecological Spatial Development, who conducts research on precisely this topic and brings first-hand, practical insights to the session. In the first part, we’ll lay the theoretical foundations; in the second part, we’ll move on to the practical aspects: you will work out directly how the model can be applied to your own project. We are looking for 15 to 20 participants, ideally two per project, so that what you learn can be developed further together straight away. Register now and bring your project along.
