The Pioneer Fund

We believe the organisations helping grow the ecosystem should also be supported by it.

The Pioneer Fund is a pool of catalytic funding provided by our Canopy Partners, designed to help early partners establish and strengthen projects that increase the impact of the wider network.

As the ecosystem grows, so does the capacity to support those within it.

Think of it as the compost that helps new ecosystems grow.

Together we grow

Every new project strengthens another. Every new partnership creates new possibilities. Every connection makes the ecosystem more resilient.

MaP isn't simply building a platform. We're cultivating a Living Ecosystem for nature restoration, both urban and wild.
