Earth Bound

Earth Bound Inc. is a volunteer-run not-for-profit social enterprise based in Gainesville, Florida, dedicated to supporting indigenous artisans by preserving, exhibiting, and marketing their traditional and innovative folk art. Committed to sustainability and Fair Trade principles, the organization engages in community-based workshops and resource management activities to empower local artisans and promote the use of natural fibers in their crafts.

Founded nearly 30 years ago by Laurie Wilkins, a biologist inspired by the cultural artistry of indigenous peoples, Earth Bound aims to enhance the economic well-being of communities while highlighting the beauty and ingenuity of their handmade items. The organization also supports its mission through the sale of Fairly Traded products and relies primarily on donations to fund its initiatives.
