Hype Circle: How to Fund a Big Idea – Exploring Financial Pathways for Sage Common

Are you passionate about creating social change but unsure how to fund your vision? Join our next Hype Circle where we go deep on unlocking financial pathways for Sage Common — a bold, practical housing initiative designed to empower women 55+ with safe, secure, and affordable home ownership.

This Hype Circle will unpack the real-world challenges and solutions of raising capital for grassroots and system-shifting projects like Sage Common, and explore the unique funding models currently in motion — including:

Shared Equity Partnerships with property developers
Social Impact Investment Structures
Philanthropic Land Contributions with Brand Leverage
Joint Ventures and Long-Term Lease Options

We’ll also lift the lid on:

The actual infrastructure and setup costs behind a Sage Common pilot
How compact housing and land-lease models open up ownership without mortgage debt
What funders are looking for — from impact to governance and long-term return

Whether you're a changemaker, investor, funder, or simply curious about how to get cash for your idea, this event is for you. Expect open conversations, shared learning, and a behind-the-scenes look at one of Australia’s most exciting new social ventures.
