The SF Bay Area and wider Bay-Delta Bioregion hold extraordinary potential to lead the world in regenerative innovation, yet face profound interconnected crises: Climate disruption, biodiversity loss, systemic inequities, inadequate affordable housing, eroding public health, economic fragility, and fractured communities.

This hybrid initiative builds on bioregional, place-based strategies grounded in Doughnut Economics to catalyze solutions at the intersection of ecology, economy, and community. Our goal is a flourishing, regenerative, resilient bioregion, and improving best practices to contribute to those efforts at local, state, national, and global levels.

Measuring Success

Doughnut Impact: Tangible, measurable impact on key elements in local Doughnut Economics of the Bay Area Bioregion
Initiative Impact: Number of initiatives supported, launched, and sustained
Community Reach: Number of people positively impacted by initiatives
