Plus, where to find hope on climate.

Directly supporting local and Indigenous communities who work in concert with nature to stop climate breakdown.

|
We created the Home Planet Fund, an independent nonprofit, to invest in practices that have restored nature for millennia.
You can help amplify the impact.

Philanthropy Unusual
|
Launching with $20 million in seed funding from Patagonia, Home Planet Fund supports regenerative programs in the most critical regions, including areas others can’t or won’t serve.
|
|
|
The independent nonprofit will put every dollar donated directly into communities and solutions that work.

Where to find hope on climate
|
Many of the communities Home Planet Fund supports might not call what they do “nature-based climate solutions.” It’s just what they’ve done for generations.
