Supporters, comradeship & associates

Trusted comradeships, supporters and associates are essential members of the 96 family. Their support allows us to work together towards our mission of empowering ourselves and indigenous peoples to preserve and safeguard their land, traditions and wisdom. United, we strive to nurture a profound renewal in our hearts, communities and the world. We sincerely appreciate their ongoing support.

Vision

To restore our natural birthright as integral parts of nature — cultivating a sacred reciprocity in which each breath contributes to a revitalised world, where all beings are honoured for their sovereignty, appreciated for their differences and recognised as vital to the divine walk of life.

Mission

96 creates welcoming spaces and connections by linking networks and resources that motivate and uplift those dedicated to building a diverse, fair and lively world — bringing together wisdom keepers, indigenous communities, innovators, artists and creators from various backgrounds.

Principles

After graduation we support international exchanges that empower local communities and tribes toward sovereignty. All funds are directed straight to local and indigenous communities, wisdom holders, rewilding efforts and wildlife sites aligned with 96's mission. We approach as students — honouring wisdom through consent, attribution and respectful care. Our practices are plant‑based, eco‑friendly and care‑driven, building a regenerative culture that is resilient, self‑sufficient and integrated into the natural ecosystem.

Fundraise

Medicine, food and sport — together.

Organised by Hand Craft Worldwide Ltd, our fundraising links health, wellness and community action. Bringing these three sectors together funds medical causes while actively promoting healthy lifestyle choices.

  • Holistic health narrative — connects treatment (medicine) with prevention (food) and active living (sport).
  • Broad appeal — hospitals, herbalists, Medi‑Chef, nutritionists, alchemists, shamans, regenerative farms, soil mycelium, organic grocers, brands and sports teams.
  • Experiential giving — charity runs and healthy cooking challenges, not just asking for money.
  • Sustainable impact — teaches healthy habits while raising immediate funds.

Medicine

The purpose

Sets the fundraising target — health improvement research, herbalists, Medi‑Chef, nutritionists, alchemists, organic regenerative farms, soil mycelium or equipment.

Food

The fuel

Drives revenue through charity dinners, healthy food trucks and nutrition sponsor booths.

Sport

The vehicle

Generates peer‑to‑peer donations through walks, runs, cycling events and tournaments.

Investment

Invest with purpose. Create impact.

Mission‑driven investment goes beyond financial returns. It means putting capital to work in businesses and projects that create positive social or environmental change while still aiming for a measurable financial return.

Values alignment

Capital invested directly in our core mission — commercial property such as farming, organic food production and retreats, plus affordable housing, green energy, financial inclusion, education and healthcare.

Endowment sustainability

Replenishing and growing long‑term assets so the organisation can fund future operations and grantmaking.

We want to hear from you: where can we improve our alignment with our values? Share your ideas and help us make sure our investments create meaningful, measurable impact.
