Member organisations are surfaced first — and here's why.
When you browse Village Local, groups that are members of The Funding Village appear first in your area. That's not hidden pay-to-win advertising — it's the mechanic that makes the free side work.
The organisations doing the work pay for funding and compliance support on the other side of the village. In return, they get real visibility here. Their fees keep Village Local free for you, and your attention helps keep them funded. One village, both sides pulling their weight.

When they do, you'll be able to chip in and share directly from Village Local. Here's the kind of thing you'll see.
