Regenerant Catalunya

Regenerant Catalunya is a pioneering participatory funding round that demonstrates how local knowledge can integrate with global Web3 infrastructure to create a replicable model for bioregional regeneration. Launched in late October 2025, the program channels €29,200 into 11 confirmed regenerative projects (10-12 total) across Catalonia through collaboration between established Catalan partners (Miceli Social, La Fundició/Keras Buti) and global Web3 funders via the Localism Fund.

What Makes It Unique

Rather than imposing external blockchain solutions, we build within trusted ecosystems, empowering exemplary projects to generate visible success stories that inspire wider adoption of regenerative finance mechanisms. Each project receives funding plus capacity-building in Web3 tools, creating ongoing infrastructure for bioregional regeneration.

Timeline

Launch: Late October 2025 ✅ — Program launched with local funds (€11k) secured on-chain on October 31, 2025. Currently in Phase 1 with comprehensive capacity-building and impact measurement through proven methodologies adapted from Regen Coordination’s successful GG23 round.

Program Phases:

Phase 1 (Nov-Dec 2025): Baseline Allocation — Currently in progress. Minimum €1,000 per project (tied to minimum participation requirements), up to €1,500 per project (based on simplified impact evaluation)
Phase 2 (Jan-Feb 2026): Network-Level Collective Governance — €1,000 per project allocated to network-level pools (~€6k Miceli Social network, ~€5k La Fundició/Keras Buti network) for collective governance using Web3 tools

Vision

This isn’t just about funding projects—it’s about building the infrastructure for ongoing bioregional regeneration while creating open-source knowledge products that can be adapted globally. The combination of traditional cooperative values with cutting-edge Web3 tools positions Regenerant Catalunya as a bridge between worlds, proving blockchain technology can serve real community needs rather than speculation.

A Participatory Funding Round for Regeneration in Catalonia

Ronda de Finançament Participatiu Bioregional a Catalunya

Regenerant Catalunya is a participatory funding round launched in late October 2025, dedicated to channeling resources into projects that are regenerating life in the Catalan bioregion. From conserving and restoring natural ecosystems like the Fluvià River basin to developing community infrastructure in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat — Catalonia’s second most populous municipality and one of Europe’s most densely populated cities — this initiative supports on-the-ground regenerative work across the region.

The program is led by ReFi Barcelona as a bridge between local needs and global support, providing selected local projects with funding matched by global Web3 partners. In return, these projects experiment with novel technologies and financial tools (e.g. blockchain-based community funding, digital impact tracking) that could open new income streams and improve their long-term impact.

Both the funding pool and the activities of Regenerant Catalunya emerged through a mediation of local and global interests. Established Catalan regenerative networks like Miceli Social and La Fundició have together committed €11,000, which is being matched with up to $20,000 by global sponsors through the Localism Fund – bringing the total pool to €29,200, which is being used to directly support 11 confirmed regenerative projects (10-12 total) in Catalonia.

Get Involved

If you are a funder or technical partner interested in supporting the regeneration of the Catalan bioregion, we invite you to reach out to explore how you can contribute to the matching pool or support the educational and technical activities. This round is only the beginning — the first of many initiatives to empower bioregional regeneration in Catalonia — and we look forward to collaborating with all those aligned on this long-term journey.
