The mission
Regenerative agricultural education, workforce development, and placement.
The agricultural workforce crisis will not resolve itself. The people who will steward the next generation of land need to be trained now.
Why a foundation
The training infrastructure does not pay for itself at the beginning.
Regenerative agriculture produces long-term returns on land health, food quality, and community resilience. But training practitioners, providing stipends, funding transitional housing, and building placement infrastructure requires philanthropic capital.
The for-profit and nonprofit interface is clear: the foundation trains and places. Commercial nodes operate independently once practitioners complete programs. No blurred lines. No hidden subsidies. The Foundation is the formation layer.
"The Foundation funds what the commercial system cannot fund at inception."
Governance
Governance and transparency.
The 25th Acre Foundation Inc. is a Florida nonprofit corporation with 501(c)(3) status pending. Three-person board of directors. The governance structure is intentionally lean. Every dollar that enters the Foundation serves training and placement.
The mission carries the ask.
If what we do aligns with what you believe, there are ways to support the work.
