Context
Following on from four years of listening, capacity building and collaboration with community-based regenerative enterprises in parts of regional Australia hardest hit by the 2020 bushfires and floods, Regen Labs has identified a critical gap around the lack of suitable finance available to those regenerative enterprises.
We believe that a well-designed and well-run Regen Community Investment Fund can play an important role in unlocking the potential of regenerative enterprise, and help catalyse a bigger shift to a regenerative economy that breaks cycles of disadvantage in regional areas and supports vibrant, resilient, healthy families, communities and environments.
