It can seem weird to talk about “money” but why not be honest? It isn’t right to keep people from having even a small piece of the living earth based on their ability to afford it. On the other hand there are start up and ongoing costs we need to cover to make this project a reality.
We are seeking people, organizations, and businesses who are looking to make a positive impact on the environment and community through their investment.
You can contribute small amount through our financial contribution page.
