Ithacash I$

Ithacash is a new local tender that works alongside legal tender in helping people get things they want and need. It operates in and around Ithaca, NY, where it is building on the legacy of the Ithaca HOURs local currency by putting forward new ideas about what money is and how it can be reimagined in service of the people and our planet. Ithacash is a growing network of people and companies committed to a thriving regional economy. We use Ithaca Dollars (i$) to sell and buy things, and by doing so enjoy a wide array of commercial, social, and environmental benefits. Ithacash is also a “benefit corporation” – a social enterprise which puts priority on the value it produces for the people and the planet right alongside its need to make a profit on the services it provides. Our philosophy is that people are the primary resource. There have been over 100 people who have contributed time and talents to making Ithacash a success, and you could be the next! If you are passionate about our community, local shopping, entrepreneurship and online marketplaces, Ithacash is the place for you. We are always looking for new & varied talents, so don't hesitate to reach out.
