Unless you can imagine it, you cannot create it... Making the world a better, more resilient and loving place, requires that we learn how to imagine that world together.
The Kitsap Resiliency Project is working with communities to develop that ability to imagine, so we can come together and create the community we want to live in!

The Upside of Funding Resilience
There is being prepared, though can we ever be truly prepared? And there is being resilient, having the ability to come back from bad times. Bring Resilient is having the ability to overcome to continue forward even when everything goes wrong. So being prepared and being resilient go hand in hand, though they are not the same thing.
Being prepared is something a resilient person does to improve their ability to thrive. They mentally prepare, they physically prepare, they think about and build on their personal foundations. A resilient person is a great thing to be… As far as an individual can go alone, a resilient person will do better and go further than a non-resilient person. A resilient community can go further that a single person or family can, because they work together.
Developing resilience develops capacity and builds a resilient foundation that will support that drive to thrive. When people come together and work together to develop resilient systems, build relationships, learn to support each other, amazing things begin to happen. Resources develop, security develops, and because people know each other and learn to respect one another and work together conflict and potential conflict reduces and people take care of each other.
Community resilience does not occur in a vacuum, in these times it does not happen naturally at all. Developing community resilience and the systems that support it takes a tremendous effort and a vision. It requires outreach, leadership, coordination, facilitation and the ability to keep at it until the tipping point is reached and momentum takes over.
Resilient Ecosystems, and organization developed to drive the creation of resilient communities, needed to identify a resilient funding model that would allow the organization to do the necessary work without spending time and resources chasing funding. The model we created is to partner with the communities we serve, asking for subscription donations of $20 per month, one Latte a week less for most Northwesterners. This funding allows Resilient Ecosystems (RESECO) to work with communities, providing knowledge, vision, helping to develop leadership, coordinating efforts and facilitating communication, and even developing systems projects in partnership with the communities.
Is your peace of mind and the security and capacity of your community worth $20 per month to you?
If the answer is yes, contribute to the resiliency development movement!
