The Bio-Regional Impact Fund is a collaborative funding pool designed to support community-led projects in Costa Rica’s South Caribbean. It connects local businesses, travelers, and global donors to create steady, transparent, and regenerative funding for initiatives that protect nature, empower communities, and preserve cultural heritage.
The Fund matters because it offers a systemic solution: instead of fragmented donations, it creates a shared pool of resources that sustains multiple projects, ensures accountability, and amplifies impact.
Why It Matters
The South Caribbean is rich in biodiversity and culture, but it also faces growing challenges:
- Gentrification that displaces local families and weakens community resilience.
- Environmental pressures on forests, reefs, and wildlife.
- Lack of consistent funding for grassroots projects doing essential work to protect our commons.
