Funding community-led land ownership models that center Black farmers and community builders is essential to closing the racial wealth gap and supporting community well-being in communities historically overlooked by philanthropy, impact investors, and government.
Funding geographically focused community organizations and farmers maximizes impact in communities facing mounting climate and food insecurity concerns.
This comes at a moment when the need for capital is greatest. Many Black farmers and community developers struggle to raise funds to support their growing seasons and organization operating budgets. Funding alternative land ownership models can also be difficult, creating unnecessary barriers to community transformation.
