GIVING

Planting Justice is a new organization, but is already off to an incredible start. We are currently waiting for our 501c3 application to come back from the IRS, and once we have it, we will be able to apply for the 50 foundation grants that we have researched to be good matches for us. In the meantime, we need your financial support! Please give what you can, by clicking on the paypal button on the right-hand side of the page (giving through paypal is always fast, easy, free, and secure!).  Currently the largest donation we accept on Paypal is $250.  If you are interested in giving a larger donation than this, please contact us to set up a visit for tea and conversation on our rooftop garden!

VOLUNTEERING

We are so thankful for our dedicated core of volunteers! Come join the fun, on our Oakland rooftop nursery and at various permaculture sites we are developing throughout the Bay Area. Sign up for the Planting Justice Updates listserv and our Quarterly Newsletter so we can invite you to these free educational workparties! Certain individuals may choose to volunteer with us on a regular basis in exchange for in-depth, hands-on permaculture training. We are looking to train future Planting Justice Team Leaders and Urban Farmers to be hired by the organization!

DONATED MATERIALS

There are a variety of things you can donate to Planting Justice in addition to money. Please contact us if you'd like to give us any of the following:

- tools (powertools, shovels, garden rakes, hoes...you get the idea)

- salvaged redwood (say from an old deck or fence)

- a greenhouse

- an empty lot or property you own in the Bay Area that you'd like to see transformed into a beautiful, educational permaculture site!

Thank you for supporting this movement to create a just food system and green jobs in the Bay Area and Beyond!
