Sustaining Technologies is a worker-owned and cooperatively managed (one owner = one vote) LLC. We specialize in Community Economic Development Solutions, meaning we provide effective tools to harness the power of local money and the economic multiplier for communities that are building vibrant and resilient local economies.

The founders of Sustaining Technologies helped create and develop the Sonoma County GoLocal Cooperative network, a member of BALLE and AMIBA. We strongly believe in the principles of BALLE and local living economies.

Our experience with Sonoma County GoLocal Cooperative has given us a deep understanding of the challenges inherent in building a successful network. We support entrepreneurs pioneering the development of these networks, coaching them and using our tools for realizing systemic economic change in their communities.
