Sunyata : Contributions

The Sunyata Group is a Washington State registered corporation (EIN: 81-065-2688 | UBI: 602-409-328) that serves as the cooperative (Co-Op) management structure for the Sunyata organizations.

The Sunyata Group partners are dedicated to the work of:

“Community” as our central focus for addressing extinction-level and/or critical issues with regards to social justice, economic, environmental, and spiritual well-being.
“Compassion” as the foundation for all of our relationships and our work together — we commit to the compassion practice of Hearing, Seeing, and Loving (H-S-L) our selves; each other; our groups, organizations, and communities; and our ecosystems.
“Collaboration” as our means for efficiently, fairly, and effectively working together to address extinction-level and/or critical issues — and to discover and promote the value propositions of being in generative relationships with each other.

We are only able to do this work by securing funding in the forms of non-profit donations, for-profit contracts and employment, and personal gift contributions.

Global Climate Change Description:

We wish to provide funding for research, education, policy, grants, scholarships, and application to efficient and effective non-profit activities that address the interrelated extinction-level issues which are accelerated by global climate change — such as pandemics, warfare, ecosystem contamination and destruction, famine, etc.

We wish to fund research, education, policy, and application activities that would include but not be limited to projects addressing effective, efficient, and sustainable: food systems and practices, energy systems and practices, water systems and practices, and health and wellness systems and practices.

There is no health and wellness security without food and water security. There is no food and water security without energy and infrastructure security. There is no energy and infrastructure security without climate security. There is no climate security because of Global Climate Change.

The impact of global climate change has already been established: increased spreading of disease; earlier arrival of spring; shifts in plant and animal ranges and populations; bleaching of coral reef; downpours, heavy snowfalls, and flooding; droughts and fires; and a raising of sea levels.

The result of global climate change is a profound degradation of our environmental and ecological systems such that crop yields decrease (water and food), natural disasters increase (weather pattern changes), stress on human populations increases (disease, housing, energy, and pollution), and warfare and incivility increase.
