The Collective Pledge
Make the pledge. Take 10% off your build.
Choose an organization already doing repair. Set an amount — a fixed gift or a share of your revenue, monthly or annual. We pass 100% of it straight to them, keep nothing, and verify it lands. Start it whenever you are ready — before a project, during one, or long after — and the 10% is held against your build.
We pledge too. We ask nothing of you we don't do ourselves.
How the pledge works
Four steps · start whenever you are ready
01
Choose who
An organization from the catalogue, named by you. Filter by the type of repair to see what each one funds.
02
Set the amount
A fixed gift or a share of revenue, monthly or annual. You decide what is sustainable.
03
Complete the pledge
Start the recurring gift now or when you build. We forward 100%, send the receipt, and hold 10% off your build price.
04
Get featured
We name the organizations that pledge on this site, in the seasonal letter, and across our channels.
Step 01 · The catalogue
Choose who your pledge goes to.
Vetted · confirmed before we route
Pick the organization your pledge goes to. Filter by the type of repair — the types are not interchangeable, since each answers a different harm in the way that harm is actually repaid. Bring us an organization you already support and we will vet it.

The spectrum of repair we support
Financial repair → full political return · a pledge can land anywhere on it
01
Reparations
Money returned for financial harm: wages never paid, and ownership denied by discriminatory lending.
We fund direct payment programs, reparative grantmaking, and lending that reaches descendants.
02
Repatriation
Ancestral remains and belongings returned to the nations they were taken from.
We fund tribal repositories and cultural centers that receive and rebury them.
03
Rematriation
Management rights over natural resources returned: fisheries, wildlife, waters, and forest.
We fund the tribal fisheries and inter-tribal co-management bodies exercising their treaty-secured authority.
04
Land Back
Stolen land returned — title, not access.
We fund land trusts and tribal land offices that can acquire and hold it.
05
Sovereignty
Complete political control returned: jurisdiction, self-governance, treaties honored.
We fund unrestricted, recurring support paid straight to a nation's government — real rent and honor taxes.

Land Back · Land acquisition
Sogorea Te' Land Trust
An urban Indigenous women-led land trust on Lisjan Ohlone homeland in the East Bay, taking land back into Indigenous hands and holding it in stewardship. The people and organizations living on that land pay the Shuumi Land Tax to support it — a debt named plainly, and paid to the people it is owed to.
This is what we mean by a repair organization: money, land, and stewardship moving back into the hands they were taken from. Not studying it. Doing it. We only pass a pledge to organizations that can receive it directly, and this is where our own goes.
Build something you own. Repair something you didn't break.
The pledge is offered quietly at the invoice — a natural chance to pay repair forward, never an ask bolted on.
