Campaign Story
Our mission
We believe that houses should be for living, not for profit-making. Two years ago we came together to do something about it.
dNM is a housing cooperative rooted in the housing rights movement, and branching towards an integrated urban commons of the 21st century.
This is why we call it de Nieuwe Meent (from the old Dutch word for Commons): because it is organised entirely around the principles of commoning.
Combining affordable housing, shared living, social care and solidarity economy, we intend to contribute to a sustainable, inclusive and fair society.
Our journey towards building a 7-story wooden complex to house a 60-people community, will hopefully become an inspiration for further experiments in Amsterdam and beyond.
Invest in de Nieuwe Meent, support a growing community, and together we can build a welcoming city based on sharing.
Call for action
The goal of the crowdfunding campaign is to raise €450.000 before the end of 2021! This amount is essential to cover 8% of our €6M total investment. See our financing section for more info.
It is easy to support our cause. On our webshop you will find two options for contributing: Donations or dNM Bonds (Obligatie).
If you decide to buy a bond, you can choose from three maturity options: 5 (annual interest 2,2%), 10 or 15 years (annual interest 1,8%).
