Enable Proven Partners to Restore Critical Ecosystems
About this Campaign
Healthy landscapes depend on communities that thrive and ecosystems that function. Yet genuine restoration requires more than good intentions—it requires capital, expertise, sustained commitment, and genuine partnership. That’s exactly what your support makes possible through Eden’s strategic grant-making model.
Eden: People+Planet mobilizes philanthropic capital for landscape restoration by partnering with world-class implementation organizations rather than conducting direct field operations. This specialized approach means your contribution reaches proven experts who know their landscapes, honor community knowledge, and deliver measurable outcomes. When you give to Eden, you’re investing in excellence at scale.
Strategic Partnerships
Our partner evaluation framework ensures every grant reaches organizations demonstrating strength across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. Partners maintain full autonomy over implementation while Eden provides strategic capital, rigorous evaluation, and transparent stewardship. This arms-length relationship strengthens both the partnerships themselves and the outcomes communities achieve.
Your contribution—whether monthly or a one-time gift—joins with thousands of others to build collective capacity for transformation. Individual support becomes shared momentum. Monthly donors become part of a founding community demonstrating that landscape restoration is a global priority worth sustained investment. Every dollar deployed to partners creates ripples: community employment, ecosystem recovery, governance strengthening, and sustainable models that continue beyond grant periods.
Commitment to Best Practices
We believe effective philanthropy requires transparency about what’s working, humility about challenges, and confidence that communities and specialized organizations can create change better than centralized approaches. Our lean operations (85% cost reduction from previous structure) demonstrate our commitment: more donor dollars reach implementation partners conducting the restoration work you care about.
Join thousands of supporters enabling proven partners to restore critical ecosystems, strengthen community governance, and build thriving landscapes worldwide. Your participation strengthens the foundation for transformation that continues across generations.
