Consider the Gift That Keeps on Growing

Giving to nonprofit organizations over the holidays can be a rewarding way to honor your friends and family through charitable giving. Please consider Collective Roots as one creative option for your giving this season. You can make a gift in honor of your friends and family in a way that honors their spirit and concern for the community. Or maybe you are looking for some creative gifts? Please visit our online store and see the options!

Nearly 40% of our budget is contributed in-kind. This means that every dollar you give is matched with the generosity of others that stretches precious resources even further, and makes an incredible difference in the lives of children who learn through garden based experiences.

We offer a variety of ways for donors to make a contribution. We can mail you a letter (the old-fashioned way-simply send me your mailing address via email) with a remit envelope, or you can simply click here to make a tax-deductible donation online. Our online donation form is easy to use and only takes a couple of minutes.

Collective Roots is now expanding its work into the East Palo Alto community; organizing a community based farmers' market scheduled to open in Spring of 2008.

Saree Mading, Board Member of Collective Roots and Administrator at East Palo Alto Charter School, has written an amazing letter about Collective Roots' initiative to develop the East Palo Alto Community Farmers’ Market. If you have a few minutes, please click here to view this inspiring letter. I am hoping that once you have read Saree’s letter and reviewed the programs that were are featured on our website, you will be inspired to make a donation to Collective Roots.
