“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
- Margaret Mead
We are an incubator for community-based innovators.
Village and Wilderness brings people together –
Individuals, organizations and civic groups–
Funders, mentors, and innovators who can work together to develop and test new ideas.
We focus on innovation – because if conventional strategies worked, the problems would be solved by now.

What We Do
The most common and widespread conservation
problems are local in nature.
We offer mentoring and fiscal sponsorships for startup nonprofits, social entrepreneurs and independent innovators who are looking for new and effective ways to address climate change at the local level.
We help these innovators research and create new strategies, test their ideas, access funding, and collaborate across industries and domains.
We also help them share their failures and successes for others to learn from.
How Do We Help?
While the world struggles with trillions to create global strategies to limit future climate change, less than 2% of private funding helps communities
