Bioregional Innovation Collaboratory (BioCoLab)

The Bioregional Innovation Collaboratory (BioCoLab) is a six month experiment in radical coordination and collaboration across the bioregional movement. The experiment is designed to create synchronous coordination between bioregional organizing and convening groups across the world, as they seek to solve similar problems in distinct landscapes - to most effectively utilize our collective resources time, and attention. In doing so, BioCoLab will release these resources as open source templates, so that they may be adopted and adapted by other bioregional organizing groups, around the world. Learn more

Our funding goals:

• Goal 1 : Source minimum resourcing required for basic facilitation and support infrastructure – $60,000 USD means we can run the experiment

• Goal 2 : Source a matching partner for donations – $160,000 means we can partially resource initiatives

• Goal 3 : Source institutional donations to fund the CoLab’s collaborative process – $360,000 USD is our full resourcing target

Your contribution will directly fund:

• The open-sourcing of active templates, protocols, and playbooks for bioregional systems.

• Collaborative design workshops and facilitated sessions.

• Grants to support initiatives addressing critical bioregional challenges.

• The creation of open knowledge commons to allow the continued publication of interactive resources, documents, and tools to benefit the broader bioregional movement.

• Increased depth and scope of relationships between bioregional organizing partners and the convening organizations that support them.
