Another Milestone
As of the 5th Annual grant cycle, we are proud to share that we have now awarded 28 grants! We are a private family foundation aiming to positively impact the security of our food supply chain in the face of climate change, discrimination, and rising costs. Our goal is to strengthen local food systems by connecting with and advocating for future generations of stewards in our Golden State.
