We work to grow the health of agricultural lands and the communities that steward them using ecological, investment, philanthropic and social capital.
The #NoRegrets Initiative is an integrated relationship-centered approach to land and asset management that uses a variety of capital – ecological, investment, philanthropic and social – to grow the health of agricultural lands and the communities that steward them. This work is done through Paicines Ranch, Cienega Capital, Globetrotter Foundation and the Paicines Ranch Learning Center.
A Call to Action for Philanthropy to Move with Urgency, Flexibility, and Boldness
We are living in chaotic times, and the nonprofit organizations working on issues dearest to my heart – climate and regenerative agriculture – are facing unprecedented challenges. Recent federal actions—including executive orders, funding freezes, and mass layoffs—have disrupted essential programs, leaving communities and organizations struggling to maintain services and putting vital initiatives at risk.
In this moment of uncertainty, philanthropy has a unique opportunity to lead. Alongside a group of my peers, including Kat Taylor, Mighty Arrow Family Foundation, Woka Foundation, Funders for Regenerative Agriculture (FORA), and Martha and Hunter Grubb Foundation, I have signed THIS LETTER, developed collaboratively by our individual foundations.
Why Do It?
“Because diverse life on the planet is beautiful and worth doing something about; and because landscapes are more interesting in relationship with people.” — Sallie
