human to humus
Returning to the earth should not depend on the wealth you were born into.
The Human to Humus Fund reduces the financial barriers to ecological recomposition, so that returning your body to the earth need not depend on wealth.

our working principle
We ask you to document the cost of what you need — not to prove that you qualify for care.
No medical records, no income statements, no disability paperwork. We believe requiring proof of need is its own barrier.
Share a short description of the support you're seeking and how it would help. That's the heart of it — in your own words, however brief.
Where possible, include the provider or service and a quote, invoice, or estimate. If you don't have these yet, tell us — we can help you find them.
A few people from the Foundation review each request for fit and available funds, keeping your information to the minimum needed.
Wherever possible we pay the provider directly — nothing to front, nothing to be reimbursed for.
We pay providers directly wherever we can. Where reimbursement is the only route, we will say so.
If returning to the earth feels out of reach for financial reasons, we'd like to help. Reaching out is the start of a conversation, held with dignity and care.
