Building the commons
together.
AYU Partners are builders, organizers, creators, and institutions working to regenerate our shared world — from land and water to governance, culture, and technology. If you're working to solve the polycrisis, there's a place for you here.
Early collaborators.
Equal recognition.
Common Planet Partners are co-builders, not sponsors or vendors — builders, organizers, creators, and institutions working in alignment with the Creditism vision, recognized for their contribution rather than their budget.
The model is deliberately fair: no pay-to-play, no tiered prestige. A grassroots mutual aid network and a global cooperative stand on equal footing — chosen for the work, not the size of the organization behind it.
Apply to the Partner Pool →Equal share.
Set from the start.
2% of all AYU Points is set aside for partners and split equally among up to 1,000 accepted partners — your share identical to everyone else's, whenever you join.
It's set the moment you're accepted and stays fixed: as the network grows, what partners hold doesn't shrink.

Apply.
We're especially interested in work across these domains, but if you're aligned with the Creditism vision, apply regardless of category.
Commons regeneration
