At Juniper, we believe that grants are part of a

reciprocal gift economy

A gift creates relationships and responsibilities. To accept a gift is to enter into an ongoing cycle of reciprocity.
— Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry

Just as the rooted juniper tree withstands the harshest conditions, adaptable and well-networked organizations create internal stability that sustains and ripples outward: Resilient organizations build resilient communities that, in turn, restore resilient, thriving, and abundant ecosystems.

Motivated by their visionary hearts, changemakers see the beauty of the world while also carrying its weight on their shoulders. Without a supportive network and resilient systems, their impactful visions struggle to sustain over the long haul.

Our team of seasoned professionals supports change agents through relationship-centered grant consulting services that build long-term organizational resilience. Juniper creates structures and strategies that help changemakers "enter into an ongoing cycle of reciprocity" with funders, their communities, and local ecosystems.

  • Create Resilient Systems

    Juniper specializes in connecting funding opportunities with those who understand that healthy communities and healthy ecosystems grow together. If you are a changemaker committed to ecological reciprocity—whether that means nurturing seedlings in a regenerative greenhouse, cultivating human joy in the outdoors through environmental education, or building the infrastructure for large-scale, institutional change—our team is ready to help your organization create long-lasting, resilience-building systems.
