RainforestECO
Regeneration & Systems Change, Youth ImpactRainforestECO has been a labor of love since 2008, which eventually grew into an internationally award-winning reforestation project: iGiveTrees.org. Since ending the tree planting initiative in 2025, we now call upon creativity to inspire children to develop the skills they’ll need to adapt to the climate changes that are upon us all, no matter where we live. Let’s do this with as much joy as possible!
Our first project is to complete a children’s book, “Angelo’s Garden,” in time for Earth Day 2026. We want children to be interested in the food they eat, by learning how to grow ingredients from an elder, and even how to make soup with him! This will be available online as an entertaining teaching tool, as well as a book in print.
Additionally, there will be an online guide for parents and teachers to inspire young interest in growing food, putting their hope into action for all of us.

RegenBridge
Collapse project details
Our booming economy has done plenty of good for people over the last few hundred years. Yet it has become a crushing economy, entangling humanity within a profound polycrisis— rising inequality, climate disruption, health emergencies, and rapid biodiversity loss. Our economic model is no longer fit for purpose.
We share the audacious belief of many that now is the time to collectively reinvent our economic systems to be in service to life on earth – designing economies that replenish and restore human and planetary systems rather than extract from and degrade them. We believe this is the only sustainable and viable path forward.
We are not alone. Many thousands around the world share these beliefs and are working towards a regenerative paradigm, although often in disconnected or siloed approaches. We are bridge builders and believe in working collectively to accelerate our shared aspirations.

Oliview Community Farm Building Project
Regeneration & Systems Change, Youth Impact, Community Impact & EngagementThe objective of The Oliview Community Building Farm Project – the Oliview Project, for short! – is to grow a stronger society through lifting up young people, teaching through hands-on work and learning, building their capacity to use their unique skills and passions to grow food for their families and the broader community. Through the Project they learn practical skills they’ll use for the rest of their lives:
- Starting garden plants from seed, and building soil, tending a garden, and understanding the value of the plant community and supporting inputs;
- Cooking fresh, delicious food to build personal independence
- The value of their own good, hard work, especially in supporting and providing for each other.
Through working side by side, we build relationships and trust. These relationships blossom into long-term connections, facilitating community reentry and improving longer-term educational, health, and overall life outcomes for participating youth and their families.
We would like to especially thank those organizations supporting The Oliview Project since our beginning, in 2021! Thank you for trusting the seeds we plant to bear fruit. We also benefit from generous individual donors. Please join us in helping these young people find their path, and understand their potential!

CoLab Debate

CoLab Debate: A Learning Center for Debate and Cooperative Leadership
CoLab Debate is a startup nonprofit program with a mission to catalyze a new generation of collaborative community leaders through innovative and inclusive debate education. CoLab scholars gain the skills they need to win debate championships, and learn to use those skills to bridge divides, shape policies, and create positive change.
Democracy is in crisis, and longstanding global threats continue to grow. Academic, political, and administrative institutions are in a state of unprecedented precarity. Young people are poised to remake the world in radically new ways.
Part workshop, part research center, part organizing network, CoLab Debate offers its unique curriculum through educational programs, including summer debate camps for high school students. We use forensics to teach not only competitive excellence but essential portable skills, including creative problem solving, critical thinking, technology/media literacy and strategy, consensus building, organizing, deep listening, and conflict resolution. Our guest lecture series at camp gives students the priceless opportunity to learn from the best and network with an expansive roster of prominent activists, public servants, and change-makers from across the country.
We fully fund camp scholarships for underserved and systems-impacted students who are motivated to fight for change in their communities. In doing so, CoLab Debate aims to empower young people to reshape the world, not just climb existing ladders.
With your support, by summer 2026 we will:
- Hire our all-volunteer staff as employees
- Launch our website, including virtual opportunities for students to access our curriculum
- Host a pilot project of our summer debate camp
- Provide full scholarships (including room, board, and transportation) enabling 20 underserved/systems-impacted students to attend our 2026 summer debate camp

The Regenerative Technology Project
Regeneration & Systems ChangeThe Regenerative Technology Project’s mission is to accelerate regeneration in the Tech sector. We reimagine technological innovation as a catalyst for thriving societies, ecologies, and economies. As ecosystem builders, our work is to co-create open resources and support entrepreneurs, investors, and organizations in regenerative technology ideation, development,
and innovation.
Our project has three primary modes of affecting systemic change in tech
- Community Building & Education
- Regenerative Tech Directory & Mutual Aid Platform
- Innovation Station (Hub for Initiatives & Moonshots)
Recognizing that our current tech paradigm mirrors and accelerates extractive economic models, we propose a bold new vision: One in which technology helps regenerate rather than degenerate life, which empowers rather than undermines future generations towards ecosocial alignment, and compounds rather than erodes multiple forms of capital.
Support an era of tech that helps all life thrive. We invite you to connect and design moonshot regenerative tech with us! hello@regentech.co

Soil Smart – Soil Wise
Regeneration & Systems Change, Social & Environmental JusticeVision
We help cities achieve resilience by connecting their residents, city departments, land developers, and agricultural components to actively support the bionic pump, thus ensuring a cooler, wetter, more resilient local climate.
Mission
We achieve our vision by working to ensure soil health through composting, biochar, biologic applications, etc. Then we support regenerative landscaping, so that the land holds water, and we complete the biotic pump by the planting of Miyawaki mini forests.
Our Inspiration
Having been concerned about climate change for decades, I was overjoyed to discover that there IS something we—normal people, can do to address the major effect—heat! The focus on carbon and getting it out of the air and into the ground has not proved to be empowering, nor successful. The research by Anastasia Markova, in which she named the biotic pump as the system that naturally cooled the Earth, gave me inspiration.
Carbon is all about not getting hotter—a good idea. But the biotic pump is all about cooling, a much better idea, in my view. Not only that it is something that we all can contribute to. It is also something, as practiced in real life, that begins to change how we see and interact with the planet. We all lament that things need to change, that we need to be “different” but that difference is rarely mentioned or clarified. Working with the biotic pump, to strengthen it, shifts our understanding and our behavior in ways that actually work with natural processes, with the Earth herself, to make the change that nature is working to make, herself.
We offer education and consulting to help residents and cities discover ways they can begin to reignite the living systems around them so they thrive. As a Rethink Tank™ we offer the opportunity to rethink how we are living on this planet by considering options that are more closely aligned with nature. Understanding the natural system means we can work with it to help cool our tiny part of the Earth. Here is Soil Smart – Soil Wise’s strategy to do just that:
Each of these steps is something that any landowner can do and soil health is something that even renters can do. We are here to help. Please, join us!
