They focus on promoting social, economic, and ecological sustainability within local communities. However, prior research uncovered emergent challenges of these communities that prevent their endurance and growth. Despite growing academic interest in studying these communities, designers found it difficult to effectively adopt newly generated knowledge in practice. Addressing the research-practice gap, we developed a translational resource for design practitioners to conceptualize new value-added features for supporting technologies in the sharing economy context. Specifically, we synthesized emergent challenges in non-profit sharing economy communities and key social and environmental sustainability efforts in design research into a familiar format for designers - the card-based toolkit to support generative design activities. Beyond introducing the toolkit, we offer a ""how-to""guide for its adoption in collaborative settings.pdfDesignSupporting designers in the sharing economy through a generative design cards toolkitConference proceedinghttps://doi.org/10.1145/3527927.3535203N/ANOIR03804
