We serve as a connector between Indigenous and POC-led food, agriculture, and land justice projects and values aligned funders and investors. We advocate for integrated capital investments in rematriation, Indigenous and regenerative land stewardship, and resilient food systems. We foster and bridge relationships, and work to reimagine what is possible and replicable.
We catalyze, support, and participate in POC-led collaboratives to collectively govern and redistribute capital. By centering the voices and needs of Black, Indigenous and POC communities, we build power and strengthen interconnectedness with and for frontline communities, and shift power and resources in meaningful and long-lasting ways.
We guide family offices, foundations, and other wealth holders away from extraction and concentration of power, towards regenerative, equitable, and just economies.

"We can reteach ourselves to see and understand how to change long-standing detrimental behaviors, habits, and institutions that have altered our human ability to respond to injustice, damaged our sense of responsibility to one another and our environments, and blinded us to the paths of coexistence with our planet and each other."
