“Your gift grows food, shade, and a future for generations.”
Make a difference
Help us reach our goal by Dec 31st!
Plant the Future with Us!
A generous donor has offered an $8,000 challenge grant — and if our community raises $8,000 by December 31st, we unlock the full match. That means your gift will be doubled, whether you sponsor a fruit tree for our community food forest or make a donation to support BOLT where it’s needed most.
This challenge comes at a crucial time. With shifting funding landscapes and prolonged federal delays, we can no longer rely on grants alone — it is time to build our mycelial web of community support. This holiday season, give a gift that grows!
When you sponsor a tree at BOLT’s Food Forest, you’re planting nourishment, shelter, and knowledge for generations to come. Each tree strengthens food security, teaches ecological stewardship, and restores health to the land — while creating a living classroom for our youth and families.
Your gift doesn’t end at donation. Sponsors are invited to join us for Community Volunteer Days this spring, where we’ll plant trees together and celebrate the roots we’re growing as a community.
