Resources and Funding Model
The communal council model aims to draw upon voluntary work by community members, along with promoting formal cooperatives, in order to carry out the projects, relying on the skills and resources of the community rather than private companies or state bureaucracies. Funding for councils can come from national, state, or city governments, from their own fund-raising, or from donations. Government money is often delivered in high-profile spectacles called “Gabinetes Móviles”.
The organization and management of the economic resources of a communal council are administrated by the elected Financial Management Unit.

—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“When you model yourself on people, you should try to resemble their good sides.”
