Regenerosity Information

Partnering with emerging grassroots leaders and organizations working to protect and regenerate their territories 🌍🌱 Building on the success of the Buckminster Fuller Institute’s (BFI) Fuller Challenge and Spring Prize in identifying solutions to local ecosystem crises—the BFI and Spring Prize have teamed with other pioneers of the regenerative movement to create Regenerosity. We see a world where communities thrive in healthy ecosystems supported by just and equitable flows of capital. Our mission is to flow trust-based funds to high-potential, community-based initiatives in threatened or degraded landscapes in ways that grow their capacities, scale and impact. Amid the crossroads of climate, social and economic crises, protecting and restoring the bio-cultural diversity of life on Earth is the challenge of our times. One powerful approach is the transformation of food systems and livelihoods, through applying the principles of Agroecology, indigenous-led restoration and regenerative practices. When this work is led by local communities and informed by their traditional ecological knowledge, long-lasting social, ecological, and economic impacts can be secured. Grassroots organizations and leaders are essential in increasing the resilience of their local communities while helping to protect and restore threatened or degraded ecosystems. Their work needs to be recognized and resourced in order to amplify their crucial impact.
