I’m **DaniBelle**, a **feminine leadership visionary** and **impact activist** focused on bridging technology and nature to create resilient communities and ecosystems. My journey began with a 20-year corporate career in tech networking, but in 2013, I made a shift to something deeply aligned with my heart—**leading bioregional village-building** efforts through [Bloom Network](https://bloomnetwork.earth/diamante) in Cascadia. I immersed myself in the **land-back movement**, working alongside **Indigenous leaders** and connecting with the back-to-the-land movement. This led me to relocate efforts to Costa Rica, where I saw the greatest potential for **impact through blending traditional wisdom with advanced tools**.\n\nIn 2018, I returned to technology through [Giveth](https://giveth.io/) to research and test blockchain tools that could **solve economic challenges**. Engaging with the **Ethereum ecosystem** by attending conferences, building relationships, and gathering skills, I was able to bring these **Web3 cryptophilanthropy tools** and resources back to the communities I serve. Since then, I’ve co-founded and led initiatives like the [Diamante Bridge Collective (DBC)](http://diamantebridge.org/) and [ReFi Costa Rica](https://www.refidao.com/community/local-/refi-costa-rica/r/rechcJzZUiAbvk3tI), continuing to **build bridges** between digital and natural systems, creating pathways for collaboration, resilience, and joy in our communities.\n\n## Regenerative R&D\nIn my work, I seek, test, and share tools that uplift communities, empowering them to **care for the Earth** and **thrive economically** in regenerative ways.\n- **Giveth DAO**: In 2018, I became an early pioneer in **crypto-philanthropy**, co-creating a platform that enables transparent giving to grassroots projects. I onboarded community projects and helped design **decentralized governance systems**, ensuring shared power and fostering a sense of **collective responsibility**.  \n- **Ecosystem Integration**: My entry into the **Ethereum ecosystem** allowed me to engage with the birth of initiatives like [GitCoin](#), **GreenPill**, [Celo](#), and [ReFi DAO](#). By sharing my learnings with **land-based projects**, I helped build **feedback loops** between ground-level organizers and tech builders, increasing adoption and refining these tools for real-world impact.  \n- **ReFi Costa Rica**: In 2023, I launched [ReFi Costa Rica](#) to create a space for **cultural exchanges** between urban and rural communities, empowering them to connect deeply with their lands and one another while laying the groundwork for **regenerative finance** systems to take root.\n\n## Education and Growth\nTo me, education is not just about sharing knowledge but about creating spaces where people feel **empowered to lead** and **connected to their place**.\n- **Diamante Bridge Collective (DBC)**: When I co-founded the [DBC](https://giveth.io/project/Diamante-Bridge-Collective-0) in 2020, it was not just about creating another organization—it was about creating a **community space** where people could learn, connect, and develop **new ways of being in relationship with the land**. The DBC now operates as **Bloom Diamante**, a local hub offering forums and workshops on **decentralized governance** and **regenerative economies**, grounded in shared wisdom and mutual care.  \n- **ReFi Costa Rica**: Evolving from the DBC, ReFi CR connects communities with **Web3 tools** to regenerate their lands and **share knowledge globally**. By partnering with other orgs across the country, we aim to cultivate **local leaders** and provide them with the education, community support, and economic opportunities they need to thrive.  \n- **Bloom Network**: Since cofounding [Bloom Network](https://bloomnetwork.earth/home) in 2015, I have focused on creating a global community where **regenerative leaders can flourish**—especially those whose work has been historically undervalued. Bloom now connects over 40 cities worldwide, offering impact organizers the **resources and tools** to heal their environments and uplift their communities.\n\n## Operational Support\nMy leadership style centers around **creating harmony and balance**, ensuring that the systems we build support people and the planet equally.\n- **Giveth DAO**: In building the operational structures for Giveth.io, I focused on creating **inclusive and collaborative processes** that make it easy for new contributors to **step into leadership roles**. The decentralized governance models I developed allow for **shared leadership** and distribute power, nurturing the collective voice.  \n- **Bloom Network**: I established operational frameworks for [Bloom Network](https://bloomnetwork.earth/diamante), leading the **Diamante Bloom chapter** as a model of autonomous yet interconnected organizational operation. This is **feminine leadership in action**—empowering others while holding space for the **collective good**.  \n- **Diamante Bridge Collective (DBC)**: Within the DBC, I created systems that allow land-based projects to **collaborate and coordinate** across the bioregion. These systems are designed to **amplify local voices** and promote fluid, adaptable ways of working, so that the people caring for the land are heard and respected.\n\n## Impact on Local Communities and Bioregions\nAt the heart of my work is the belief that **regeneration starts with people**—creating deep, meaningful connections between communities and their environments.\n- **ReFi Costa Rica**: My work focuses on **facilitating cultural exchanges** and educational opportunities to help communities collaboratively adopt **regenerative finance systems**. Together, we are restoring land, rights, and livelihoods in Costa Rica.  \n- **Diamante Luz Earth Trust**: Through the [DBC](https://giveth.io/project/diamante-luz-center-for-regenerative-living-0), we’ve established the **Diamante Luz Earth Trust** to allow communities in Costa Rica to manage their lands in a **sustainable and regenerative way**. This initiative is rooted in shared governance, reflecting my commitment to ensuring **local voices lead** the regeneration of their ecosystems.  \n- **Bloom Network**: I have actively supported populating the platform with people and projects that demonstrate replicable practices and **empowered grassroots leaders** to take ownership of their communities’ futures. By providing resources and access to funding, Bloom supports local leaders in creating **positive change** worldwide.\n\n## Conclusion\nI believe that true regeneration happens when we **nurture both people and the planet**—when we create systems that are not just efficient, but caring. I now advise organizations like [Kinship Earth](https://www.kinshipearth.org/) and [SoilDAO](https://www.soildao.io/), helping them transition to **life-affirming business models**. As I prepare for the [Earth One Global Assembly at Sea](https://earthone.world/gatherings/atlantic-crossing), I’m committed to continuing this journey of connection and regeneration. Together, we can create a future where **local ecological leadership** and **global technological innovation** come together to restore the world we share.\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Giveth", "projectTwitter": "theofficemystic"}, "recipient": "0x5D28FE1e9F895464aab52287d85Ebff32B351674"}}
