Support GEN with a Donation
Where your funds are going
Every contribution empowers communities to live regeneratively and inspire others to do the same. This year, your contributions will support GEN’s 2 major initiatives:
Launch the upgraded ecovillage online map and directory
We’ve built the shared infrastructure between GEN and FIC, and now we will continue the development and design of the new platform.
Support the development of the GEN Ecovillage Research Center
GEN has established a new institute in Ireland known as IERI, or International Ecovillage Research Institute. The institute will further ecovillage research and programs across the globe.
Why donations are vital to GEN’s work
GEN’s International team works tirelessly to weave together the 6 chapters of the Global Ecovillage Network, to produce alliances, funded programs, and support for ecovillage initiatives worldwide. As this work is ongoing, GEN is sustained by grants, fundraisers, and individuals like you. A percentage of your donation goes to supporting the regions that make us the Global Ecovillage Network.
For 31 years, this network has been growing the proof that a regenerative way of life is not a theory. It exists. It works. And it’s expanding.
Our Programs:
Climate Resilience: We help ecovillages regenerate degraded land, transition to renewable energy, and build climate-adaptive food systems. Through programs like the Ecovillage Resilience Project, we spotlight ecovillages as a proven climate resilience strategy and equip ecovillage members to build systems for resilience.
A Thriving Network: We are always expanding and maintaining GEN’s global ecovillage map, so people like you can find and connect with communities that align with your vision, as well as start their own community.
Education & Mentorship: We share ecovillage models and regenerative skills through online courses, consulting, and hands-on learning. By sharing community-oriented education, we train the next generation of change-makers and land stewards.
Amplifying Proven Solutions: We support ecovillages in sharing their blueprints for resilience with the wider world. Our programs spotlight and empower communities that are innovative examples of the possibilities of ecovillages.
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.
A better future isn’t something we wait for, it’s something we create.
Donate today, and let’s build a thriving world together.
