Support Ecovillages Through the Green Match Fund 2025

A thriving, regenerative world is within reach—but only if we build it together.

Right now, you have the power to accelerate this movement. Thanks to the Green Match Fund, every donation you make to the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) between April 22nd and April 29th through our Big Give campaign will be doubled, up to £4,000. That means your gift goes twice as far in supporting ecovillages worldwide.

Donations open up April 22nd, save this link or add to your calendar

Why This Matters to You

Every day, more people are looking for ways to live in harmony with the planet. Perhaps you feel the same pull—toward community, sustainability, and resilience. But shifting from an extractive culture to a regenerative one takes commitment, resources, and action.

Ecovillages are living laboratories of the future, pioneering solutions that work in real life. They regenerate landscapes, build circular economies, and prove that a different way is possible. By supporting GEN through the Green Match Fund, you’re investing in a movement that is shaping the world you want to live in. And because every pound/dollar you give is matched, you’re making twice the impact with a single action.

Celebrate GEN’s 30th Anniversary by giving us a match donation gift for Earth Week!

What Your Gift Supports

GEN connects and strengthens ecovillages across six continents, ensuring that wisdom and practical solutions spread far beyond their origins. Your donation supports:

Climate Resilience: Helping ecovillages regenerate degraded land, transition to renewable energy, and build climate-adaptive food systems.

Education & Mentorship: Training the next generation of change-makers through online courses, consulting, and hands-on learning.

A Thriving Network: Expanding and updating GEN’s global ecovillage map, so people like you can find and connect with communities that align with your vision.

Amplifying Proven Solutions: Supporting ecovillages in sharing their blueprints for resilience with the wider world.

Every contribution empowers communities to live regeneratively and inspire others to do the same.

Where’s the Money going?

  • £3,000 – Subsidise volunteers from Global South to attend EU gathering
  • £2,000 – COP30 side-events and presentations
  • £3,000 – Upgrade ecovillage online map and directory, linking people & showcasing ecovillage impact

The Power of the Match

Consider this: A £50 donation becomes £100. A £200 donation becomes £400. Imagine the impact if everyone reading this took action today. That’s the power of collective giving—it transforms small acts into waves of change.

And in a world where urgency is rising, there’s no better time to give. The match funding won’t last forever. This is your chance to stretch your impact further than ever before.

How You Can Participate

  1. Donate Now: Visit GEN’s fundraising page and make your contribution before the match runs out on April 29th.
  2. Spread the Word: Share this opportunity with friends and networks who care about sustainability and community-led action.
  3. Engage With GEN: If you’re inspired by this work, consider joining our membership community, taking a course, or visiting an ecovillage.

A better future isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we create. And with the Green Match Fund, your role in that creation is more powerful than ever.
