The ReWoven Fund — A Funding Invitation
The ReWoven Fund — A Funding Invitation

A fund that builds the capacity the regenerative movement needs to thrive.

"What if the most radical thing we could do is learn to live well together?"

The ReWoven Fund backs the people building the regenerative network: land-based and digital projects moving toward regenerative livelihood, the bioregional storytellers who document them, the consultants who help communities transform, and the educational spaces where new stewards learn. Every funded project includes a filmmaker, so each grant builds the work itself and the movement's storytelling capacity at the same time.

Who We Fund

The people building the regenerative network.

Every grant does two things at once — funds real work, and grows the movement's capacity to tell its own story.

01

Regenerative projects

Land-based and digital communities and initiatives moving toward regenerative livelihood — the core work the fund exists to support.

02

Bioregional storytellers

Local filmmakers and media teams embedded with these projects, paid to document the work as it happens.

03

Reweaving consultants

The facilitators, governance designers, and regenerative-design experts who help communities transform.

04

Educational spaces

Physical and digital places where newcomers learn to steward land, and find the communities ready to welcome them.

Why ReWoven

Our changing world calls for new capacities.

Almost always, the same invisible human layer gives way: governance, conflict repair, ownership and legal structures, and eroding trust. You can buy land, a tractor, even babysitting — you can't buy coherence. The knowledge to build it already exists; it's just out of reach for many communities.

The ReWoven Fund builds capacity in four areas at once — funding, business models, coordination technology, and documentation and storytelling — paying for what projects can't fund themselves. Beneath them runs a fifth: the Sacred Current — the emotional, spiritual, and cultural capacity to actually live this way, the piece no one else foregrounds.

What Holds a Community Together
  • A shared, documented vision from day one
  • Real screening and a real engagement period before full membership
  • Conflict-resolution processes with actual teeth
  • Financial and legal competence alongside the idealism

Patterns observed across decades of practitioner research, notably Diana Leafe Christian's — the same four capacities the ReWoven Fund exists to build.

Eligibility

What it takes to be funded.

Clear criteria, applied consistently — so sponsors know exactly what their dollars support.

Every funded project must:

  • Include documentation — a paid storyteller/filmmaker/documentarian on the budget, producing a finished artifact.
  • Move toward financial regeneration — beyond sustainability toward regenerative livelihood, building the community's business and financial capacity.
  • Connect with local and indigenous people and knowledge — learning from and weaving with the people of place.
  • Be designed for interactability and pro-sociability — playing well with others (local cultures, other bioregions, other hubs) rather than staying siloed.
  • Pass the purpose litmus — does this project offer people access to purpose, hope, and a livelihood aligned with their calling?

Every artifact accrues into a queryable, AI-assisted, bioregional, media library — a searchable archive of videos, books, and podcasts that also serves as the casting pool for the ReWoven show. Creators keep ownership; inclusion is opt-in, and any revenue that may be generated from library memberships in the future will be shared with every contributor.

Artizen mechanics

Weekly match + 20% comp

Artizen kickstarts approved funds with $1K–$50K in seed funding. Each week, sponsor dollars unlock matching funds from Artizen's Endowment at that week's match multiple. ReWoven earns 20% of sponsor contributions as disclosed compensation for running the fund.

Founders

Tree & Andrew

30 years in community — facilitated development of multiple communities, led a ~200-org coalition. 20 years in regenerative documentary film.

The horizon

Land, rematriated

As the network matures, sister funds follow — including support that helps move land out of the speculative market and into the hands of proven stewards.

The Invitation

Sponsor the ReWoven Fund and create a clear pathway to regenerative lifeways.

We're launching the ReWoven Fund on Artizen — sponsoring it adds fuel that Artizen's match multiplies, funding regenerative projects that meet the ReWoven criteria — durable, shared infrastructure built to outlast any single grant. If your capital wants to give more than it takes, let's weave.
