ECOSIA is looking for investable tree-planting projectsApply to their Call for Projects |

Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, has already funded the planting of more than 230 million trees in 35+ countries. Now, they’re expanding their approach with Circular Funding—a regenerative investment model that creates a revolving system where capital is continuously reinvested into projects that combine tree-planting with revenue generation. |

What is Ecosia’s Circular Funding?A regenerative model for financing tree-planting |
|
|
Circular Funding is Ecosia’s answer to one of the biggest challenges in environmental finance: how to support restoration in a way that is both sustainable and scalable.
Here’s how it works: Ecosia invests in tree-related projects that also generate income. Projects repay the investment over time, with flexible terms that follow their natural cash flows. Ecosia reinvests this capital into new projects, creating a continuous, circular flow.
This approach allows Ecosia to: ✅ Fund more trees over time with the same euro. ✅ Support projects where communities build autonomy and resilience. ✅ Align ecological outcomes with financial sustainability. |

What ECOSIA is looking for |
|
|
Ecosia is currently seeking project opportunities in:
🌿 Agroforestry systems: Sustainable Agroforestry Systems (SAFs) that integrate trees into agriculture, increase biodiversity, and generate income. 🌿 Conservation with income-generation potential – Initiatives such as non-timber forest products, eco-tourism or forest crafts that make conservation more profitable than deforestation. 🌿 Innovative enablers – Tools and services that scale tree-planting, improve survival rates, or create more resilient supply chains. |
