Kolektivo Curaçao

Kolektivo Curaçao is a non-profit foundation in Curaçao dedicated to enabling the regeneration and development of the people and nature of Curaçao through innovative tools and practices.

It was started in 2020 after the launch of CuraDAO, the first in-person impact DAO, and has since played a significant role in regenerating the island and building open-source impact software.

Our Impact since inception

• Issued over 50 micro-grants (up to $1500) to local changemakers, including multiple agroforestry, reef restoration, mangrove planting, and other ecological initiatives, in addition to over a dozen socio-economic projects that supported the local population.
• Mapped and supported over 30+ local agroforestry projects, including the development and operation of Hofi Kolektivo, our example farm in Scherpenheuvel.
• Contributed to the pilot and development of open-source impact solutions, including CuraDAI, Kolektivo App, and the recent Kolektivo Action Platform in collaboration with Unicef Ventures.

How your support will help us
Any resources received will be used to progress our Regenerative and help us accomplish the following:

• Contribute to the launch of the Kaya Kaya Hub, a non-profit collaboration space for changemakers at the heart of the city, in collaboration with Kaya Kaya, a large city restoration effort and street festival.
• Contribute to the development of Regenerative Agriculture on the island.
• Support climate activities through micro-grants and the upcoming Kolektivo Action Platform.

We're thankful for your support - and hope to welcome you on the island in the future! 🍃

To turn Curacao into a thriving hub for Regenerative innovation.

Regenerative development projects are underfunded on the island due to the top-down resource allocation mechanisms it has inherited from its colonial past.

We allow for regenerative practices and innovation to thrive by accelerating changemakers through solutions, grants and events.
