ABOUT FOUNDATION

Foundation is a post-scarcity community project — a fully designed pilot for 2,500 people in Eastern Washington with guaranteed housing, food, healthcare, and energy built into the architecture.

This is not a manifesto.

Most ideas about fixing society stay ideas. They get written up, shared around, argued about, and then nothing changes. Foundation is different — not because the idea is better, but because the method is.

We're not proposing a philosophy. We're running an experiment.

The problem we're solving

The current system isn't broken because people are bad. It's misaligned because it was built for a different era — one of genuine scarcity, limited information, and slow communication. We've outgrown it. The tools exist today to guarantee that every person has food, shelter, healthcare, energy, and education. We simply haven't built the structure to deliver them that way.

That's what Foundation is.

What Foundation actually is

A 2,500-person pilot community designed from the ground up around one question: what does a post-scarcity community look like in practice?

Not in theory. In practice.

That means a real location (Eastern Washington), real governance (a ratified democratic constitution), a real economy (industrial hemp as the primary revenue engine), and real accountability (everything documented and published — including failures).

The seven Guaranteed Necessities every resident receives: Housing · Food · Healthcare · Energy · Education · Connectivity · Basic Safety

These aren't benefits. They're the structural baseline. The floor, not the ceiling.

How it's funded

• Long-term: industrial hemp. The community produces construction materials, textiles, nutrition, and biofuel on-site — enough to fund operations without ongoing charity dependency.

• Short-term: we need startup capital. Land, infrastructure, and early operations require investors and donors before the hemp economy can carry its own weight. That raise is underway now.

How it's governed

One person. One vote. All voices.

Foundation has a ratified constitution with explicit anti-corruption design, term limits, supermajority requirements for major changes, and protected clauses that no founder, majority, or executive can override. The system is designed to survive its architect. That's not an aspiration — it's a structural requirement built into the founding documents.

Why a pilot?

Because "trust us, it works" isn't good enough.

The only honest way to test a new system is to build it, measure it, document it, and publish what you find — including the failures. 2,500 people in Eastern Washington won't solve global inequality. But they can produce a replicable data set that any community, anywhere, can build from.

That's the point.

What we're not

Not a cult. Not a commune. Not communism. Not a tech billionaire's private island. Not utopian. Not waiting for the government to act.

Foundation is an open-source experiment in structural design. Opt-in. Documented. Accountable.

Where we are now

The blueprint is complete. The book is published. The governance constitution is written and the economic model is documented.

What comes next requires capital.

We are actively seeking:

• Donors — to fund the nonprofit formation, site selection, and early operational costs. Tax-deductible once our 501(c)(3) is established.

• Impact investors — to participate in the Public Benefit Corporation equity raise that funds land acquisition and Phase 1 construction.

• Partners — organizations, researchers, and institutions aligned with post-scarcity design, regenerative economics, or cooperative governance.

If you're one of those people, we want to hear from you.

Who's behind this

Jared Mayzak — Founder & CEO of Industrial Hemp Processing of America, co-host of the CommonX Podcast. He's been building the industrial infrastructure this model depends on for years. Foundation is where the industrial work, the governance design, and the community vision converge.
