Abundance Fund - Community Fundraiser

For two years, the Abundance Collective has been a space of deep connection, learning, and experimentation, all happening across screens and time zones. We've nurtured relationships that span continents, explored new ways of thinking about money, economy and our livelihoods, and created a foundation of trust that has surprised and moved us all. Now, we're ready to take the next step. This October, we're coming together in person for the first time.

Between October 23rd-26th, 2025, Abundance Fellows from our first two editions will gather near Berlin for 4 transformative days. We are incredibly excited about finally meeting face-to-face and deepening our connections. At the same time, this is a chance to anchor what we've built together and step more fully into our collective potential and way forward. 

We're bringing 3 intentions to our time together:

🌀 Strengthening our web of relationships. The connections we've formed virtually have already sparked beautiful collaborations and deep friendships. Imagine what becomes possible when we can look into each other's eyes, share meals, and create together in the same space!  

🌀 Shaping our collective future. By October, we'll have completed an extensive strategic alignment process. This gathering will be our opportunity to commit together to the path forward we've envisioned as a collective. 

🌀 Experimenting with regenerative economic approaches. Starting with how we organize and co-own the resources flows for this gathering itself, we'll practice the conscious economic principles we believe in. This is our chance to walk the talk and deepen our understanding of what's truly possible.

At its core, the Abundance Fund is about embodying the values we hold dear. This fund will be collectively owned and consciously managed, with decisions made together with our members through what we call co-stewarding the economy. 

This isn't our first time co-managing an Abundance Fund. We've distributed more than €10,000 as a collective over the past 2 years, impacting both our personal and collective relationships to money. You can read more about it in our activity report from 2024, under the chapter Money & Resilient Wealth.

✨ Here's what we've learned
When a group of people sits down to thoughtfully decide where money should go, magic happens. Instead of one person making all the decisions, we gather as a community and listen to each other's needs, ideas, and dreams. Sometimes the money goes to someone starting a project, sometimes to someone facing a tough month, sometimes to fund a beautiful experiment we all want to see happen. The fund is co-owned with care and respect, and everyone gets a voice in how it flows. It's surprisingly simple and powerful, because communities know things that individuals alone can't fully grasp. 

🫐 For this particular iteration of the Abundance Fund, we have decided to focus all the money flowing through this crowdfunding campaign in order to energise our upcoming in person gathering in October.

A final invitation
Whether you've been with us since the beginning or you're hearing about our work for the first time, your support helps prove that communities can organise themselves around abundance rather than scarcity.

Will you join us in making this possible? Together, we're funding a future where communities care for each other, where resources flow consciously, and where another way of organising ourselves becomes visible and viable.

 

In order to support the community fundraiser, Abundance Fellows and friends are offering their skills and gifts as part of the Abundance Gift Circle. This is an invitation to explore your relationship to money, value and wealth in a meaningful way, while contributing to this fundraiser. 

Join us and you can explore thoughtful, heartful offerings: from mentoring on values-aligned decision-making to team sessions that unpack money dynamics, to creative practices that help you reconnect with your own sense of abundance. 

 

Each session is shared with a lot of care and intentionality in the spirit of gift culture:
