How we'd invest your donation

Perhaps, the right kind of donation is the one that could be considered an investment into your own, or a loved ones future wellbeing?

Our world is being shaped by two trends of major concern for anyone who cares about the prospect of having a civilized prospering human culture.

Conceptually we envision them as these two narratives.

• The Capital Game: Wealth and power continue to concentrate at the top.

• The Green Oligarchy: Environmental, economical and geo-political concerns are used to justify expansive top-down control by a political elite.

Both trends lead to diminished human autonomy, agency, and creativity, and consequently a reduction of our ability to work together as groups of people in search of greater truths, beauty and goodness.

Something we consider to be unacceptable.
