Dollar Donation Club

Dollar Donation Club is a digital platform designed to facilitate micro-donations to various systemic impact projects around the world. Premised on the idea that collectively pooling small amounts lowers barriers to entry and can hyperfund the massive impact areas with minimum resources, the platform curates a selection of social impact projects across various areas ""acupuncture points of change"" like poverty alleviation, environmental protection, ocean restoration, and animal welfare.They prioritize projects based on their ""Integrated Impact Score"" metric which assesses a project's effectiveness for creating positive and scalable social and environmental benefit, while acounting for how well the solution: Integrates into local cultures and economies; Is resilient to threats of reversal; Results in self-reliance rather than dependence; Is long-term (7 generations deep); Solves root-causes rather than symptoms. Dollar Donation Club offers traceable donation monitoring for donors and gamifies the experience with points, leaderboards, and prizes. It also offers customized campaigns to business to automate giving, impact investments, and reporting.

Loam

LoamBio is an agricultural tech company whose technology harnesses the power of microbes, specifically endophytic fungi, to create seed coatings which improve soil health and sequester carbon, which support greater crop yields, and potential income for farmers through carbon markets.. These coatings, applied during planting, boost the natural ability of plants to store carbon in the soil and promote their growth and resilience against environmental stressors like drought, disease, and high temperatures. Loam positions itself as a farmer-centric company offering programs like SecondCrop, which helps farmers earn additional income through carbon credits for the carbon sequestered in their soil, and CarbonBuilder, to enable farmers to integrate soil health analytics seamlessly with existing practices.

CivicAI

CivicAI explores how AI can enhance collective intelligence in relation to climate crisis mitigation and adaptation. CivicAI sees opportunities in several key areas, which have been illustrated in more detail through 3 distinct use cases. To address the climate crisis, CIVICAI works to increase the capacity for communities to organise and adapt to a new reality. This requires better tools and methods for mobilising large groups of people to take action, reducing associated costs, and advancing the value of collaboration.

Kiiren

Kiiren is a no-code software-as-a-service (SaaS) application designed with regenerative intention to incorporate AI technology in right relationship with its human operators. The platform automatically tunes itself based on “knowledge bases” loaded into it, allowing non-technical people to adapt, curate, and collaborate around knowledge sets based on their unique operating context and place. Their primary focus is on enhancing community and organizational efficiency by providing seamless access to resources and information. Its mission is to adapt LLM generative AI technologies into globally accessible “augmented regenerative intelligence” (ARI) in a way that is humane and living systems first, ethical, safe, useful, and serves as an impact multiplier and coherence builder in the regenerative movement. Kiiren’s “knowledge ecosystem” is currently supporting leaders and community building across intersections of regenerative economics, finance, spirituality, indigenous wisdom, and social transformation.
