The Permagardens Foundation Fundraiser

September 19 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

ABOUT THE EVENT: We’re delighted you’re interested in registering for our second ever fundraising event. There will be music, a variety of food (much of which will we intend to source from local farms), relaxing mingle time, impact stories from our communities, and an auction with items from local businesses. NUMBER percent of donations go directly to providing permagardens trainings in India and East Africa for communities who need them.
Please RSVP by Aug 30 so that we can plan to prepare enough food, chairs, etc. And if you feel like it, invite 4 other people (friends, family, coworkers…) to come with you and have them RSVP as well – the more the merrier, and the more support will be cultivated for training families in need!


ADDRESS: Hillside, an Urban Sanctuary 1422 Navellier St. El Cerrito, CA

ABOUT US: The Permagardens Foundation trains communities facing malnutrition and food scarcity the proven technique of permagardens so they can grow abundant nutritious food in small spaces at home year round even in harsh climates. We support trainers who are indigenous to their training areas (Rwanda, Kenya, India, Uganda, and expanding!), who train small groups at a time and who empower women as the leaders of these projects in each community.
Any money raised at this event goes directly towards trainings for these communities. We will use these funds to to pay our trainers adequate salaries, to help cover costs of seed banks near training sites, and most importantly to support FOLLOW-UP VISITS through which newly trained people can receive any necessary guidance on how to properly maintain their permagardens.
For us, this event is as much about making personal connections as it is about raising funds. Please bring friends, family, and acquaintances so that together we can grow this movement of motivated, compassionate global regeneration.
