Current NPOs
Nature protection organizations (NPOs) worldwide are joining forces in the Union of Nature Foundation (UON) to accelerate nature protection. We bring a singular proposition to the world: the ‘uon’, a unique digital proof of protection of a sustainably protected geocoded unit of nature, registered in your name.
We aim to engage and empower the private sector to contribute directly to protecting 50% of the planet together with a solution that is accessible, accountable, and assured, to unlock an additional recurring revenue stream to NPOs doing the work on the ground.
Nature’s value is intrinsic and immeasurable, from carbon sequestration, climate change resilience, and biodiversity, to its cultural significance and importance for our health.
A m² of nature is a simple, tangible, and relatable unit that reduces a global problem to the human scale. For every €1.20 donation to protect a unit of nature, we issue a uon, a unique digital proof of protection of a sustainably protected geocoded unit of nature, registered in your name.
Every day, every person can make a difference by protecting nature and collecting uon. Meter x meter.
The UON Trust Framework offers participating NPOs a groundbreaking international business collaboration in an operating model that is governed by a rulebook with predefined roles and responsibilities, and rights and obligations.
We operate not-for-profit.
We bring a singular proposition to the world: donate €1.20 to sustainably protect a geocoded unit of nature, and receive a uon proof of protection registered in your name.
€1.00 of every €1.20 is forwarded directly to nature protection and charity. That’s 83%. The rest is used for governance, operations, and tax.
We have committed ourselves to contribute to the 30×30 and 50×50 goals.
The participating NPOs receive revenues for each uon issued. In return, they contractually commit to bring a new unit of nature under protection, on a 1-for-1 basis. This is how we scale.
We are always on the lookout for new nature organizations to include. Have a look at our access criteria to see if your organization is eligible.
View CriteriaWe value transparency, equality, and inclusivity above all else. We review every single applicant, though not all parties may be a good fit for now. If you think you’ve got what it takes, we encourage you to apply or reach out for more info: hello@uon.org
