WE’RE READY TO BUILD
OakTREE has developed the model, identified pilot sites, and assembled the partnerships needed to prove that community-owned infrastructure works. What we need now is the capital to break ground: to install demonstration projects that will generate the technical, economic, and social data that unlocks this model for neighborhoods across the country.
Your financial support is the water that flows directly into building these pilots and conducting the rigorous assessments that turn promising ideas into replicable strategies. Whether you’re drawn to funding physical infrastructure, fostering energy and food resilience, community skills development, or the organizing work that connects it all – every contribution helps us prove what’s possible and pave the way for communities everywhere.

BECOME A PARTNER
Making the OakTREE Initiative into a reality will require many hands, and you are invited to be part of this endeavor. We are driving toward our pilot projects, cultivating local talent, and researching how to weave our solutions into the fabric of existing communities. To do that well, we need doers: people excited by the prospect of building something tangible that improves their neighbors’ lives.
We’re particularly looking for skilled contractors, engineers and trades professionals, workforce development partners, community organizers, storytellers, and others ready to roll up their sleeves. Get in touch to learn more, lend your expertise, and help lead the implementation of this vision. See how we work as a team on our “Who We Are” page.
