Founded by authors Anne Lappe and Frances Moore Lappe, the Fund supports courageous movements bringing to life on-the-ground, citizen-led solutions to hunger, poverty, and environmental devastation around the world. The volunteer-run Fund raises money from individual donations, book sales, and fundraising events.



Mission: The Fund supports movements around the world proving it's possible to re-embed economic life in community, ensure we all eat healthfully, and heal our relationship to the earth.



History. We founded the Small Planet Fund in February 2002 as we launched Hope's Edge : The Next Diet for a Small Planet . Moved by the courage of millions of everyday changemakers around the world, we wanted to support their critical work and provide a way for those inspired by their stories to connect with these groups. We also hoped the Fund would encourage other artists and authors to consider ways to connect their work with support for those who inspire it. We invite you to contact us with any questions you may have.
