Rainmatter Foundation

Supporting individuals/organizations working on climate change with a focus on afforestation, ecological regeneration, and livelihoods.

After 5.5 years of learning & evolving, Rainmatter Foundation is entering a new phase.

What began with a few focus areas has grown into ecosystem weaving across urban, rural, climate, data & more - always with place at the center.

What if citizens didn't wait for someone else to fix neighbourhood problems? 🏘️

That's why we've partnered with @oorvani. They run Data Jams, workshops, and platforms (Citizen Matters & Open City) to help locals decode civic issues and co-create solutions.
