The Community Reward Fund
Our circular economy engine — a dual-system model that funds both Hub operations and student wages through community participation.
Two Systems. One Mission.
The Community Reward Fund operates through two distinct but interconnected models — both designed to keep every dollar circulating inside Logan County.
Your Deposit Keeps Our Lights On
Community members deposit at tiered levels and receive Hub Credits worth more than their deposit. 100% of all deposits stay with the Laundromat and Car Wash to cover 100% of utility bills, chemicals, and machine maintenance. Deposits are not tips — they are community belief converted into operational fuel.
Our Interns Keep Your Community Growing
When a student intern performs a service, they earn 60% and the Hub retains 40% for operations. Every transaction builds real workforce experience and real wages.
"Your deposit keeps our lights on. Our interns keep your community growing."
