Restoration begins with rightful return.
A new model for land and legacy.
The Global Land Restoration Fund (GLRF) provides funding, transaction facilitation, and training to restore right relationships between people and place. GLRF partners with local communities and organizations to support the permanent acquisition of their homelands.
Strategic Guidance and Transaction Facilitation
We use real estate and capital strategy expertise to help acquire at-risk lands. With decades of experience, we navigate complex transactions to protect vulnerable biocultural areas and advance community-led sustainable development.
Dynamic and Adaptive
Access to Funding
We provide capital for Land Back projects through a flexible Hybrid Revolving Fund, ensuring communities can secure land at the speed of opportunity.
Agile By Design
We are intentionally nimble to ensure that we can make decisions quickly and seize the opportunities on behalf of our Indigenous partners. We are not burdened by a large staff that requires months to make decisions ensuring that we are responding to the needs of the situation and keep our overhead costs to the minimum.
Education and
Capacity Building
We support new generations of skilled experts in community-based acquisition of land ownership.
