Funding Abundance with a Permaculture Lens
How can we use permaculture ethics, principles and strategies to better understand, interact with and integrate the sector of alternative economics, funding and financial resources to increase yield? In this talk, we will contextualize the regenerative priorities of our work within the current realities of capitalism, the nonprofit industrial complex, and philanthropy and discuss what a Just Transition looks like with powerful and practical specific examples. Part presentation, part discussion, part resource share, you are invited to participate with your questions and input.
