DonateMeet the Collective
A team of passionate women dedicated to nurturing justice, community, and sustainable futures together.
CULTIVATING ABUNDANCE THROUGH CARE AND COLLECTIVISM
We are a collective of Black and Brown women who provide administrative and organizational support to land stewards and food ecosystems. This includes fiscal sponsorship and technical assistance to strengthen and sustain the food, land, and climate justice movement. Our support helps alleviate the administrative burden placed upon our communities, offering them grace and spaciousness to devote more time and energy towards transformative projects and imagining liberatory possibilities.
How we work
At 4DaSoil, collectivism is an embodied practice of love and care. We operate in a culture that prioritizes trust, honesty, and shared responsibility.
We embrace transparency and courage in navigating challenges together.
We work with intention and care to meet the needs of our partners.
Our work is rooted in sisterhood, mutual care, and accountability.
our vision and values
We are striving to help build a world where the land and food ecosystems are freed from extractive capitalism, and systemic exploitation. We do so by supporting those that honor Black and Brown food sovereignty and land stewardship.
collective work and skillsharing
We create a dynamic where knowledge, tools, and skills flow between us to strengthen our collective.
Sacred Care of Relationships
Our relationships are non-transactional by pouring into one another and forming bonds that strongly hold us together through adversity. We are modeling accountability for ourselves and to one another.
Growing at the pace of community
We move at the speed of trust, pausing to address conflict and personal crises, while remaining committed to the work and our wellbeing.
Creative & Emergent Processes
Flexibility, agility, and creativity allow us to tap into the many facets of ourselves, helping us to adapt and sustain through disruption.
Joyful, Purpose-Driven Work
By sharing labor, we make space for healing, for our relationships to bloom, and for our inspirations to manifest into our dream projects.
why we do this
Black and Brown land stewards face barriers to funding, land ownership, and long-term sustainability due to systemic inequities. We exist to change that.
Through redistributing resources, providing administrative relief, and holding space for healing, we enable our partners to step out of survival mode and into thriving, abundant futures.
