Community fee
The community fee is 20% of the total project cost. It is comprised of three parts:
40%
1. Shared revenue pool
To help smooth income and reward community involvement, active members receive a distribution from this pool semiannually. It's comprised of two evenly split pools:
- Community pool: Distributed equally among active members
- Performance pool: Distributed proportionally based on the value of work completed on the platform. This is calculated as a combined value of work performed and work shared within NorthLawn
20%
2. Client owner compensation
For sharing client opportunities with the community, the member receives this amount not only for the single opportunity but for all future work by the individual client.
40%
3. Platform support
To maintain and improve NorthLawn, a portion of the fee goes back into the platform. This is among the lowest in the industry.
Democratic decision-making & community
Unlike other platforms, NorthLawn is run by its members for its members.
Decide
Vote on community decisions related to membership, fees, clients, rules, and other ways NorthLawn will be run and managed.
Connect
Engage with community members through the NorthLawn Slack Workspace to get advice, share best practices, exchange cooking recipes, and anything else work-related.
Participate in online and in-person events exclusive to community members.
Contribute
Beyond voting on community decisions, get involved in running the day-to-day of the community by interviewing potential members, finding new partnerships, and more.
Joining the community
Entry into NorthLawn is invitation-only, often through existing members' professional networks; however, an invitation can be requested using the online form.
Application process: Interview with at least 1 community member, share your resume/ LinkedIn profile, and share past non-confidential client work.
