Funding Round
Fund your nature project
Application takes 15 minutes
Join Ma Earth’s platform to access funding
and community support for your regenerative
agriculture and land stewardship projects.
How it works
During a funding round, projects gather support from their communities. That support is then amplified with funds from a matching pool.
Quadratic funding
Quadratic funding levels the playing field for land stewards. The more individual supporters a project has, regardless of donation size, the more funding it receives.
