MODA Vi Initiatives
The Civic Partners Program
Deploying Social Capital as Economic Infrastructure
The Network Economics of Community Spend at Scale
Each Civic Partner holds a relational portfolio of 25–100 individuals: students, congregants, audiences, clients. When aligned with local commerce, this creates a distributed micro-marketplace, rooted in authenticity and trust.
"This is not consumer behavior. It is intentional economic circulation, architected by network design."

Apply to Become a Civic Partner
MODA Vi is currently accepting applications for its Civic Partner network—an initiative that recognizes and equips individuals who play a meaningful role in shaping local trust, engagement, and economic life within their communities.
Civic Partners are:
Teachers, professors, and educational leaders who shape learning communities through formal and informal instruction. These civic partners leverage their classroom connections, parent networks, and institutional relationships to create pathways between educational spaces and local commerce. Their influence extends from K-12 schools to universities, creating bridges between academic institutions and neighborhood businesses.
As a Civic Partner, you will:
Civic Partners are strategic participants in a restructured civic economy. This program is designed to give formal shape to the leadership you already exercise in your daily life.
Applications are currently open in select cities across the U.S. and Europe.
Civic Partner Establishments
To maintain the integrity and impact of the Civic Partners Program, participation is limited to 3–5 businesses per category per city. This scarcity is a deliberate design principle. It ensures:
- Higher fidelity in trust-driven referrals
- Focused data collection and measurable outcomes
"In an economy saturated with options, scarcity creates signal. When a Civic Partner recommends a business, it is not noise—it is consensus."
