Help Us Grow a Greener, More Connected Future
We’re The Growing Forward Garden Project—an emerging nonprofit rooted in the belief that nurturing plants can also nurture people.
Our mission is to inspire a love of nature, sustainability, and community throughout the Greater Yuma Region. By creating hands-on gardening experiences for youth, we’re not just planting seeds in the soil—we’re planting seeds of confidence, leadership, and connection.
But to grow this vision, we need your help.
We’re in the early stages of building something truly special—a community-centered garden space where young people can dig into the earth, learn where their food comes from, and discover their own power to lead and thrive.
Your donation will help us cover vital start-up costs, including:
- Filing for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status
- Securing a business license
- Sourcing and purchasing land
- Buying tools, seeds, soil, and essential equipment
- Laying the groundwork—literally and figuratively—for our first growing season
Every dollar you give helps us take one more step toward a more sustainable, more connected Yuma.
This garden will be more than just a place to grow food. It will be a safe, welcoming space where youth and families grow together—learning, healing, and building a better future from the ground up.
Will you help us grow forward? No donation is too small. Every gift is a seed—and with your support, we’ll help it grow.
With deep gratitude,
The Growing Forward Garden Project Team
