NDG MoneyLess Economy (MLE) Vision and Implementation Plan
Transforming Our Community Through Love
Led by the NuVoWay Foundation & G3 Movement
INTRODUCTION: THE NDG INITIATIVE — A MODEL FOR HEAVEN ON EARTH
Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG) is about to become the first fully participating community in the world to step boldly into the future through the MoneyLess Economy (MLE). This transition is not simply economic. It is spiritual, cultural, and societal. It marks the beginning of a new chapter in human development — a shift from scarcity, stress, and survival to one of abundance, freedom, and flourishing.
We believe that God has given us everything we need, and by coming together in love, trust, and unity, we can steward these gifts and ensure that every person lives with dignity, joy, and purpose.
Our first implementation site will be NDG, a community of 66,475 residents. With support from the NuVoWay Foundation, we will provide access to basic needs and life-enhancing services through the G3 Tangerine Limitless Debit Card — enabling people to live fully and freely without the burden of money.
The goal is not only to address poverty and inequality, but to ignite a transformation across all 12 Pillars of Society, turning NDG into a living example of Heaven on Earth — a model to be replicated in communities around the world.

FINAL VISION FOR NDG: A BEACON TO THE WORLD
By the end of Year One, NDG will stand as a powerful, living example of what it means to live in love, not lack — to give freely and receive abundantly. From this foundation, the MLE will expand to surrounding neighborhoods, then across Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and ultimately, the world.
We envision a day in the very near future where every person on Earth lives free of financial stress, fully supported, deeply connected, and inspired to share their unique gifts with the world.
We are not just building a better NDG.
We are ReCreating Eden.
