Regenerate Cascadia is very excited to announce that we have been included as a case study in Samantha Powers new book Bioregional Financing Facilities: Reimagining Finance to Regenerate Our Planet.
We all know money is needed to do the work to Regenerate Cascadia. How do we go about funding in ways that align with the culture we want to evolve? Samantha Power and Leon Seefeld have gathered knowledge, case studies, and methods on just this topic- and Regenerate Cascadia is one of the case studies!

The Regenerate Cascadia Case Study can be found as Case Study Nine on page 130. We are excited to use this paper to help guide our own bioregional regeneration strategy and develop our Cascadia BioFi program in partnership with this, as well as many other initiatives to build a funding ecosystem and regeneration fund for the Cascadia bioregion. We believe BFFs can become the connective tissue between increasingly concentrated pools of financial resources, locked in the extractive economy, and the mycelial web of regenerative projects and organizations worldwide. BFFs can enable integrated capital raised from a variety of sources to flow to aggregated portfolios of systemically coordinated regenerative projects in bioregions. Through BFFs, we believe we can put finance in service to life.”
Samantha Power, who is a Regenerational Economist, a Bioregionalist and a Futurist, explains:
“Bioregional Financing Facilities, or BFFs, are a new type of financial institution with three objectives: drive the decentralization of financial resource governance, catalyze the design of project portfolios for systemic change, and support the transition to a regenerative economy. BFFs have 12 attributes, the first of which is to align financial flows with living systems principles and Indigenous wisdom.
