What is peer- to-peer fundraising?Peer-to-peer (P2P) fundraising is a strategy that empowers individuals to raise money on behalf of an organization they personally connect with and/or benefit from. This is most commonly done through online fundraising pages. Fundraisers create their own fundraising page and send the link to family members, friends, and colleagues, who make donations. As a fundraiser, you can set your own fundraising goal and monitor your progress, and personalize our suggested content in your emails and social media posts.

Why should I become a fundraiser?
Your support is essential for strengthening relationships between farmers and local people who rely on them. Together we are planting your future - an equitable, healthful, culturally relevant, local farm and food economy that respects land and water, and the people and animals it sustains.
The wisdom behind the Learning Center’s mission was tested over the past few years. With the onset of the pandemic, we witnessed international food supply chains immediately severed, and national and regional food supply chains weakened and failing. Those with resources and access responded by turning to farmers markets and local CSAs to keep them healthy and well-fed while our farmers struggled to meet the sudden increase in demand. But far too many families were unable to take advantage of local sources, leaving 1 in 9 households without access to enough nutritious food to sustain a healthy life.
How do we ensure our farmers are prepared for future surges, and our communities have access to food in times of crisis?
We responded to this challenge with a deep re-commitment to our work by nurturing our staff and community, and building enduring partnerships with mission individuals and organizations that share our values. We continued to provide support and education to our farmers, fresh produce to our friends and neighbors in need, and a safe place for young minds and hearts to grow. Our long-term success is achieved when our participants contribute to a more resilient food system as farmers, consumers, advocates, and friends.
As we strive to bring resources to our communities for a better tomorrow, there is one resource we turn to today - our community of supporters! With your help to plant the seeds of giving among your peers, we can continue our work building a world of resilient systems and citizens. Join us in Planting Your Future Today.

Our program participants share what they love about us...
I like that it is a birthing place for creative ideas, and a safe space to dream in. It is uniquely unifying and is contributing to ripples of change that will extend far beyond what we can imagine.
There are very few opportunities like the ones Angelic Organics Learning Center offers to connect children to land and food.
Real, usable skills rooted in environmentally sound practices.
The integrity of the practices, the commitment to community, the beautiful farm, and the helpful people.
