Infrastructure for bioregional movements.

What we offer

The Department of Bioregion extends nonprofit infrastructure to place-based projects and the bioregional organizations that hold them. We help bioregional teams form and grow into Departments of Bioregion, the same way a landscape grows a seed group into a landscape group. The programs below are the routes in.

Bioregional Incubator

Start a place-based team and grow it into a fully resourced Department of Bioregion, with mentorship, tools, and a nonprofit home along the way. Explore the Incubator →

Fiscal Sponsorship

A nonprofit backbone for your project: receive tax-deductible donations, apply for grants, run payroll, and hold insurance under our 501(c)(3), without forming your own. Read more →
