Community Shares Unit

Community Shares Units (CSUs) are investment tools that allow individuals to buy shares in community-based projects, such as cooperatives or local enterprises. When people invest in CSUs, they help fund initiatives that benefit their communities, while also gaining a say in how the venture operates. Unlike traditional shares, CSUs are typically designed to be accessible to everyone, with lower minimum investments. Investors do not seek high financial returns; instead, they focus on community impact, social benefits, and sometimes modest interest over time, fostering economic resilience and local ownership.
