Our Work
We believe community and culture-rooted projects and dreams deserve to flourish on their own terms. We support their thrival by taking care of the logistics, and building a relational web of support so leaders can focus on serving their communities. We do this through:
Fiscal Sponsorship
Culture Building
Network Weaving
Fiscal Sponsorship
Utilizing our 501c3 to incubate and support cultural stewards and practitioners across Turtle Island, our fiscal sponsorship and administrative support ensures impactful projects receive the funding they need. More than 90% of our sponsees are BIPOC-led projects, actively dedicated to restorative and transformative justice and earth based healing for generational change.

Culture Building
At the root of all our work is culture building and regeneration, building systems and ways of being together that are responsive and adapting to the times. All of this work is held in support and accountability by our spiral governance structure, you can read about more here.
Ways that we are building culture:
Tending and evolving our Cross Cultural Protocols
Creating and supporting communities of practice developing traditional and emergent forms of cultural healing and regeneration
Building culture and capacity for alternative models for resource flow and redistribution
Centering relationship and our core values in all the work we do
Network Weaving
Through education and partnership, we are weaving a more resourced and interconnected network of relations between our fiscal sponsees, grantees and collaborators.
We serve as a hub for resources, information, and wisdom-flow between different parts of our network. This includes:
Network gatherings, workshops, and online education and training opportunities
Media that supports and spreads the word about culturally rooted ceremonial practices from our partners, promoting cross cultural protocols, dismantling oppressive systems and paradigms, and re-indigenizing cultural practices and ceremonies
Connecting practitioners with each other and to our web of culture builders through our Education and Consulting Directory
Mutual aid and resource redistribution, including our Resilience and Reparations Funds
Relational tending and web-weaving across our network to support a more interconnected network of relations
