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**.\n\nWith 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](https://www.regensunite.earth/event/regens-unite-london) and [GreenPill UK](https://twitter.com/GreenpillUK). Together, we will make London a leading light in the global regenerative economy movement.\n\n### **Background**\nThe 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.\n\n### **Progress so far:**\n- Formation of a core team and starting community.\n- Supported and sponsoring [Regens Unite London](https://www.regensunite.earth/event/regens-unite-london)\n- Launched an initial [ReFi London Dashbaord](https://www.refidao.com/community/local-/refi+london/r/recurab6LfoelkVzm) to begin mapping key ReFi London people, projects and events \n\n### **Key Activities Supported by this Grant:**\n- **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.\n- **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..)\n\nThrough 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.\n\n## **Join Us!**\nReFi London is a call to leaders, innovators, and changemakers to step forward and coalesce their efforts towards a common goal: a regenerative future. In this era of unprecedented challenges, the solution lies in unity, collaboration, and a shared vision. Support ReFi London, be part of the revolution, and let's together sculpt the regenerative economy of tomorrow 🌱\n\n![Social Media Header 2A (lr)](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BylmZ3toQp.jpg)\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "ReFiLondon"}
