Capital for People and Land

We organize with movements toward economic liberation, relationships of repair and justice, and regenerative land stewardship.

We shift financial flows toward a just transition by offering infrastructure for community capital projects managed by and for Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and working class communities.

Our Approach

  • We partner with philanthropy and investors to deploy charitable capital to advance impact-first goals, such as climate and environmental justice; economic, racial, and gender justice; regenerative land stewardship, and other elements of a just transition. We resource opportunities that are led by BIPOC communities to redistribute wealth. By building pooled investment funds, and facilitating capital from donor advised funds (DAFs), we make it easy to move patient and affordable capital to just transition, land access and stewardship, and community wealth building projects.

  • We provide infrastructure support for visionary leaders who are reimagining how capital can uplift the vision, ancestral and next economy wisdom, and practice of BIPOC, working class, and other marginalized communities that are advancing a just transition to regenerative economies. We work with trusted partners to complement our hosting services with: financial, compliance, and legal services; investments, grants and contract management; accounting, audit and valuation; technology infrastructure and support, and other core services for your back office so you can focus on shifting capital to those who have it least.

  • We support collective organizing, somatic and spiritual approaches, and the practical economic experiments and models needed as we face ecological collapse and economic and social transition.
