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!
