OUR FIRST BIG FUNDRAISER:

We aim to both consolidate and expand on what has been researched and proven in Mezimbite over the last 30+ years, and to bring it to a meaningful scale. The target is to raise and deploy in excess of $50 million over the next three years. Given that we already have all the basics in place and functioning. We don't have to wait to achieve critical mass all at once, but can build up to it, project by project. Where donors of different sizes can participate in and develop a relationship with their project, of a sustainable size for their particular requirements. This number is what we know we are capable of managing efficiently with our existing and growing team.

This fund is to deal with the following:

  1. Setting up the essentials to demonstrate sustainable and regenerative economic growth, addressing major environmental and societal problems using our proven Nature-Based Solutions.

  2. Accelerating the velocity of money at a grass-roots level.

  3. Growing and converting the Mezimbite Forest Centre into a productive working and teaching environment.

  4. Establishing an incubator for the kind of business that will serve the basic needs of our people, starting with the critical components of a local, accelerating circular economy. These range in size from a few thousand to a few million dollars. And together, can form a vertically integrated economy.

  5. Building up the quality of production amongst the new businesses to serve the hard currency desire for heirloom products.
