Our Mission
We act as powerful connectors
To activate women’s wisdom and wealth for the benefit of nature. We achieve this by connecting women with capital to women stewards leading the rising nature-based economy, inspiring scalable investments that drive a sustainable future for all
The challenge
We all depend on nature – individuals, businesses, cities, and nations. The stark reality of climate change and environmental destruction deeply concerns us as women.
We understand that the future of our children and the well-being of humanity are intrinsically linked to the restoration and preservation of nature. A lack of comprehensive understanding and education on these critical connections hinders women from investing wisely in nature-based solutions.
What we do
We connect women with capital to women stewards leading innovative projects in the nature-based economy. By fostering these relationships, we channel investment into scalable, high-impact initiatives that restore ecosystems, support climate solutions, and promote sustainable livelihoods. Through this network, we amplify women’s influence in shaping a resilient, regenerative future for people and the planet
