We’re heeding the calls of our changing Earth.

Indigenous-led solutions work.

This is why we fund Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities living in frontline regions with the biggest potential to address the polycrisis, including remote communities, fragile ecosystems, and areas in conflict. We work in places that others can’t or won’t.

 

Given that our partners have always lived what are now referred to as “nature-based solutions,” these solutions are available now, but they’re underfunded. Investing in them will have tremendous impact on the climate and biodiversity crises.

 

Home Planet Fund ensures 100 percent of all funds received go directly to work led by our partners—an investment in local knowledge that generates a global impact.

 

Because anything less than work that has powerful and outsized impact on our rapidly changing planet is simply not enough for this time of global emergency.

 

We are all in for the Earth.
