Four Investment Vehicles
Traditional philanthropy asks you to donate and disappear. The Regenerate Your State investment model asks you to stay — and share in what gets built.
Buy the currency of repair before it circulates.
Min. Investment
$500
Timeline
12–36 months
Return
3–5× in community value
You purchase Karma Cash tokens before they are earned by community members. When the festival launches in a bioregion, your tokens are the first currency in circulation. Early adopters receive a 2:1 token ratio — for every $1 invested, $2 in Karma Cash enters the local economy bearing your name as a founding sponsor.

Measurable community outcomes
A fellowship fund that directly supports the advance team members who do the six months of community organizing before each festival. Fellows are selected by the host community, not by the festival. Your investment pays a living stipend to someone already doing the work — it simply removes the financial barrier.

Art + community story
At each festival, community members bring broken objects — a grandmother's chair, a cracked bowl, a rusted tool — that have been repaired by local artisans using traditional and contemporary techniques. These repaired objects are auctioned, with 70% going to the artisan and 30% to the Repair Hub fund. The auction is the festival's most powerful fundraising moment.
