For Land Stewards
Your land. Your terms. Your future.
Groundtrust makes it possible for Indigenous and community-led land stewardship projects to reach aligned funders — without sacrificing sovereignty, data, or your team's time.
What stewards get
Groundtrust is built around your needs — not the other way around.
No grant writer needed
A guided listing process replaces the 40-page application. You describe your work in your own words, at your own pace.
Full data sovereignty
You control exactly what information is shared, with whom, and when. Nothing leaves the platform without your consent.
Verified without bureaucracy
A partner land trust and satellite monitoring data verify your stewardship activity — no 501(c)(3) or institutional affiliation required.
Direct funder relationships
Connect with funders who actually understand land stewardship — not grant officers evaluating spreadsheets.
Field-first reporting
Photo check-ins, GPS-tagged updates, and automated ecological indicators replace the paperwork cycle.
Free to list, always
Groundtrust never charges stewards for access. Our model is funded by the funders and land trusts we serve.
What to expect
From first listing to first funder relationship.
Create a project profile
Describe your land, your community, and your stewardship work. Share as much or as little as you choose. No template required.
Get verified
A land trust partner reviews your project. Groundtrust provides supporting data from satellite monitoring. This usually takes 2–4 weeks.
Get discovered
Your verified project is surfaced to funders whose priorities match yours. You decide whether to respond.
Build a relationship
Groundtrust facilitates introductions on your timeline. Funding follows relationships — not the other way around.
“Groundtrust will never require you to share more than you want to. Indigenous data sovereignty is not a feature — it is the foundation.”
