Phase 1 Funding Model: 65% / 35%

65% — Land, Building & Infrastructure Fund

ECO’s model is revenue‑based, not donation‑dependent. 65% of all ECO revenue — including events, rentals, youth‑run stations, sponsorships, and donations — is allocated to long‑term community infrastructure. This includes land, a permanent building, storage, equipment, power systems, and youth training infrastructure.

35% — Operations, Staffing & Program Delivery

35% of all ECO revenue supports the systems that keep ECO functioning: staffing, logistics, compliance, TCIG fees, website hosting, consumables, and youth program delivery. To date, these costs have been fronted personally by ECO’s founders as startup investment and recorded as organizational expenses.

Assets We’ve Acquired

ECO’s equipment, supplies, and infrastructure have been acquired through a combination of founder‑fronted startup investment, hundreds of volunteer hours and formal asset donations. These items are organizational assets that support events, youth programs, and community outreach.

Infrastructure

Canopies, tables, benches, chairs, lighting, cords, and storage systems used for events, workshops, and youth‑run micro‑business stations.

Games & Activity Equipment

Bingo machines, cards, signage, raffle equipment, games, and activity materials that support community events and youth engagement.

Youth & Community Supplies

Candy, giveaways, notebooks, pens, props, molds, packaging, and materials used for outreach and youth‑led stations.

Power & Resilience Equipment

The Jackery 2000 Plus system with battery pack and solar panels was donated by TCI Financial Consulting Ltd. All other equipment and supplies were acquired through founder‑fronted startup investment.
