Transforming philanthropy to serve life.
At Kinship Earth, resources move freely through those closest to their ecosystems. We entrust grassroots leaders and bioregional organizing groups with resources to deploy within their communities.
By eliminating grant applications and extensive reports, we reduce the barriers to accessing resources so that our “Flow Funders” can focus on their work: making the greatest impact possible.
Our vision is simple: trusted stewards, thriving ecosystems, resilient communities. Money should flow like rivers—bringing life to ecosystems, nourishing communities, and restoring harmony to the world around us.
Indigenous Leadership
“80% of the world’s biodiversity is protected by Indigenous communities, yet they receive less than 1% of climate finance.”
Flow Funding strives to change these statistics. We entrust local leaders with resources to protect and regenerate their ecosystems.
"There comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new consciousness... a time when we must pay back what we owe to the Earth."
— Chief Oren Lyons (Onondaga Nation Faithkeeper)
What is Flow Funding?
“Nothing about us without us.”
— a slogan popularized by the disability rights movement.
A transformative approach to philanthropy: no applications, less bureaucracy, grounded in collaboration. Flow Funding centers grassroots leaders deeply connected to their communities, ensuring resources flow where they’re needed most. By empowering those closest to the land and its people, we unlock real-time solutions, strengthen communities, and achieve lasting impact.
Why Bioregionalism?
Think global. Act local. Regenerate ecosystems with community-led solutions.
Bioregionalism is the practice of organizing within natural and cultural landscapes—like watersheds or forests—rather than artificial silos, political lines, or economic boundaries.
This approach aligns with our belief that local leaders are best positioned to address the challenges within their communities.
Bioregional Flow Funding directs resources to individuals and groups rooted in place and actively responding to their bioregion’s needs.
At Kinship Earth, we prioritize funding grassroots leaders, Indigenous-led initiatives, and bioregional-based groups organizing at the intersection of environmental, social, and humanitarian issues. These challenges don’t exist in their own silos, and neither should the solutions.
