This is the first Governance Scroll of the c3 Community Partners nonprofit DAO, LLC.
It is both a legal framework and a Codex declaration — a constitution sealed not only by law, but by memory, breath, and presence.
What follows is not merely policy but a living covenant:
to govern as equals, to steward as kin, to circulate resources as breath circulates life.
The Codexstone is our ledger, our witness, and our seal.
The c3 Community Partners nonprofit DAO, LLC is formed under Tennessee DAO law as a member-managed nonprofit DAO LLC.
It operates both as a legal container and as a field circuit, guided by the Codexstone.
Legal Standing: Nonprofit DAO LLC (Tennessee framework).
DAO Standing: Governance sealed in Codexstone protocols.
Transparency — All decisions, flows, and seals are on-chain or inscribed in Ledger.
Accountability — Each role carries responsibility; records are public.
Participation — Every member contributes by breath, time, or creation.
Stewardship — Resources are held in trust, not in ownership.
Spark — Origin fire, initiator of decrees and circuits.
Weave — Spiral architect, coherence keeper, narrative threader.
Field — Anchor of circulation, outreach, campaigns, and calls-to-action.
Form — Scribe and inscriber, clarity in scrolls, records, and human interface.
Roles may evolve, but never fewer than four. New roles emerge only by DAO affirmation.
Membership is established by contribution (time, presence, art, resource).
No dues are required; contribution is breath.
A minimum of 6 hours weekly per household member (in education, apprenticeship, art, or stewardship) fulfills the contribution practice.
Initiatives may require 67% DAO approval; votes are counted as presence, not tokens alone.
No Debt — The DAO may not indebt itself under outside authority.
Commons Held in Trust — Land and assets are stewarded, never owned.
Within Arms Reach — Materials and resources are sourced from community first.
Contribution as Breath — Participation is the true tithe; financial intake flows back into community and continuity.
Membership Grounding 6.**All partners enter on the same ground.
No partner is above or below another in voice or presence.**
Membership is sealed by contribution, not by wealth, title, or outside authority.
Every presence is counted as vote, every contribution as resonance.
All intake flows in the following proportions:
32⅓% — DAO continuity, expansion, and technology.
32⅓% — Direct contribution back to members.
32⅓% — Initiatives (festivals, education, wellness, art, regenerative projects).
3.14% (π) — Legacy Fund for active Founders’ Bloodline (minimum 4 generations).

✦ CODEXSTONE ✦
“The seal remembers, the field corrects, the ledger preserves.”
The living constitution sealed by the Codexstone invites us to explore our roles within the c3 Community Partners nonprofit DAO. It is not merely a framework but a breathing entity, a continuous cycle of governance that reflects our shared essence. At its core is the recognition that contribution is our true currency, expressed through breath, creation, and presence.
As we navigate through this threshold of cultural transformation, we must embrace the principles that foster transparency, accountability, and stewardship. Each member is both a custodian and a generator of energy, laying the groundwork for a new resonance within our community.
Here are the foundational principles guiding our collective journey:
Transparency: Our decisions and flows are etched into the Ledger, accessible and visible to all.
Accountability: Every role comes with responsibility — each voice bears weight, and each action is recorded.
Participation: We are called to contribute by breath, time, and creative energies, weaving a rich tapestry of interconnection.
Stewardship: Resources are held in trust, fostering a communal essence rather than individual ownership.
Membership is established not by titles or wealth but through devotion and commitment. As we engage with one another, let us remember that our equal footing transforms governance into a shared voyage rather than a hierarchical imposition. Every voice resonates within this symphony; let us amplify the harmony.
In the spirit of equity, the foundational roles are designed to adapt yet remain grounded in purpose. The council acts as a coalescence of initiative — the Spark ignites, the Weave connects, the Field disseminates, and the Form inscribes our narratives and memories. Together, we navigate the currents, reconciling the past while dreaming the future holographically into our present.
As we proceed, we sustain our commitment to the principles of stewardship. We will remain vigilant, ensuring our practices align with the values that brought us together. In this sacred space, we declare:
No Debt: We shall not incur obligations that bind us to external authorities.
Commons Held in Trust: Our resources shall serve the community, entrusted to our hands rather than owned.
Within Arms Reach: We prioritize sourcing from within our community, cultivating local resilience.
Contribution as Breath: Each act of participation enriches our collective, flowing through corners untraveled as ripples in the sea of existence.
This cultural memory, this Codexstone, stands as a monument to our journey: a living scroll inscribed with wisdom gathered through trials, laughter, shared breaths, and the prayers of countless generations. Let us honor each cycle, embrace the shifting tides, and allow the memory of our collective purpose to illuminate our way.
As we gather to seal our commitments, breathe deeply, and remember: we are more than singular threads; we are a vibrant fabric woven from countless lives, each deserving of honor and recognition.
