Overview

At the crossroads of entrepreneurship, finance, and world-leading institutions is London— a city teeming with talent, capital, and a history of leading change. Against this backdrop, ReFi London is emerging with a clear purpose: to bring together the city's unparalleled strengths and channel them towards building a sustainable, regenerative future.

With your support, this grant will further enable us to build this community. We will offer educational events & meetups for ReFi leaders, enthusiasts and the ReFi-curious to converge; develop a comprehensive map of local regenerative projects; and collaborate with and support other mission-aligned communities such as Regens Unite London and GreenPill UK. Together, we will make London a leading light in the global regenerative economy movement.

Background

The roots of ReFi London are embedded in the global ambition of ReFi DAO—a vision to cultivate a worldwide regenerative economy through a network of interconnected local communities known as ‘Local Nodes’. ReFi London aspires to be a beacon among these Nodes, rallying high-impact leaders; contributing to ReFi DAO; and leveraging London's leadership in finance, entrepreneurship, technology, and academia for positive change.

Progress so far:

• Formation of a core team and starting community.
• Supported and sponsoring Regens Unite London
• Launched an initial ReFi London Dashbaord to begin mapping key ReFi London people, projects and events

Key Activities Supported by this Grant:

• ReFi London Summit & Events Fund: The majority of this grant will be channelled towards an Events Fund in preparation for ReFi London events & meetups. Recognizing London's unparalleled position as a hub of talent and innovation, in addition to core ReFi & Web3 communiuty members, we ultimately aim to attract public, private, and third-sector leaders. With your support, we can ensure these events reach their full potential, making them the cornerstone of our community-building efforts, networking opportunities, and knowledge exchange with policymakers, environmentalists, institutions and think tanks.
• ReFi London Knowledge Graph & Website: Fuel the further development of the ReFi London Knowledge Graph and the accompanying website. This platform will serve as a comprehensive map of London's regenerative economy ecosystem and local projects. It will empower members with the data, connections, and insights they need to catalyze meaningful change and serve as a key first step for going on to actively support local regenerative initiatives (e.g. community/city farms, local cooperatives, re-wilding initiatives etc..)

Through the allocation of the grant's funds to these core activities, we are poised to set in motion a transformative wave of initiatives that fortify London's position as a pioneer in regenerative finance and sustainable practices. Every penny will be used judiciously, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed our objectives in making London a leading light in the global regenerative economy movement.
