#### Problem

Raising capital for worthwhile projects is difficult.


#### Solution

We plan to simplify capital raising with BFF.box, a platform and playbooks for BFFs (Bioregional Financing Facilities).

#### What is a BFF?

**Bioregional Financing Facility (BFF)**
> *A community-owned institution that applies a participatory, transparent, and place-based approach to driving the decentralization of financial resource governance, design of project portfolios for systemic change, and the transition to a regenerative economy. While a BFF specializes in facilitating the flow of financial capital between regenerative projects, community members, and investors, it also works in close relationship with a Bioregional Hub to facilitate the flow of all capital types (e.g social, intellectual, cultural) in holistic support of bioregional regeneration.*
