Dear Citizenfund supporter,
The first newsletter of 2024 is here, and it’s a special one!🤭
First of all, we’d like to wish you an exceptional year, full of everything you could wish for 🍀.
In this newsletter, discover, in less than 5 minutes :
👉Our 3 wishes for 2024
👉Great news about our projects
Our wishes for 2024 !
✨ Our first wish is to see our community of cooperators flourish and grow. To flourish by actively participating in voting and project meetings, and to grow by bringing other financial heroes and heroines on board!
As cooperators, don’t hesitate to talk about Citizenfund and its projects around you. As you know, at Citizenfund, you don’t need a PhD in finance to get involved. Everyone is welcome, because it’s by uniting our diversity that we make informed decisions!
✨ Our second wish this year is to introduce Citizenfund to universities. We want to offer students the chance to discover a different form of finance and a different vision of the future world… Don’t hesitate to discuss this with your children, nieces, nephews or grandchildren if they’re still at university, they might be interested…
✨ And our third wish is to continue growing Charleroi’s Citizenfund as well as exploring new possibilities elsewhere (who knows where we might go together?)…
If you’d like to help make these wishes come true, tell others about Citizenfund, send us your ideas, and together we’ll be the architects of our shared success.
You too can share your personal, professional or Citizenfund wishes with us.
May 2024 be the year our dreams come true!
News of the projects
🎯 Brupower has done it! In just one year, thanks to the incredible efforts of nearly 300 cooperators, 40 volunteers and dozens of ambassadors, Brupower, the Brussels region’s new citizen energy cooperative, has raised enough capital to install its first 800 solar panels, 100% citizen-owned and Brussels-based!
🕺Discover Wilfried’s special issue: a guaranteed special issue with almost no politicians, but which reflects contemporary Belgium through its inhabitants, through a collection of interviews with personalities from civil society – sport, economy, social movements, history… such as Amélie Nothomb, Aline Zeler, Nabil Ben Yadir, Gino Russo, and many others.
