We are local funds for socio-environmental justice that promote philanthropy in support of initiatives by community-based organizations in the Global South

Our Manifest
The climate and environmental emergency we are currently experiencing disproportionately affects marginalized communities worldwide.
Communities of people living in natural territories, rural areas, or peripheral regions of urban areas bear the heaviest burden of natural resource loss, pollution, and climate-related disasters.
However, it is from these very communities that truly sustainable alternatives emerge for the protection of all the world’s ecosystems – the protection of us all.
It is imperative for the philanthropic sector to recognize the necessity of channeling resources directly to local groups and communities.
