Roots of Conucos

Yes! We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations to our organization are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Our status reflects our commitment to transparency and our mission to create meaningful impact through sustainable agriculture and community support.

If you’d like more details about our nonprofit status or need documentation for tax purposes, feel free to reach out—we’d be happy to assist!

Our nonprofit is funded through individual donations, grants, corporate partnerships, and community fundraising efforts. These contributions are the lifeblood of our organization and enable us to carry out our mission effectively.

Donations are used to support key initiatives:
Community Engagement: Hosting Workshops, training sessions, and outreach events.

Supplies and Tools: Preparing and cultivating soil/land, purchasing tools, equipment and providing educational resources.

Operational Support: Covering essential costs to keep our programs running smoothly and ensuring compliance with agricultural and nonprofit regulations.

Our volunteer opportunities are hands-on and tailored to meet the needs of our agricultural programs. While there are no strict requirements beyond a willingness to learn and a passion for sustainable farming, we do ask volunteers to:

• Be at least 16 years old or accompanied by a guardian if younger.
• Commit to a minimum of four hours per session or a specific project duration to ensure meaningful contributions to our projects.
• Be prepared for physical activity, as many tasks involve working outdoors.

Volunteers should also wear appropriate clothing, bring water, and be ready to embrace teamwork! If you’re interested, we’ll provide an orientation to familiarize you with our mission and the specific tasks you’ll support.

We value your time and energy and are grateful for your dedication to making a difference!

As an agriculture-focused organization, much of our work requires hands-on involvement in the field, whether it is supporting sustainable farming practices, mentoring new farmers, or engaging directly with the community. While we currently do not offer remote or virtual volunteer opportunities, we welcome individuals who can join us on-site to make a tangible impact.
If you cannot you can’t volunteer in person, there are still ways to support our mission, such as spreading the word about our programs, organizing local fundraisers, or making donations.

We love collaborating with our local community and are always excited to build meaningful partnerships! Whether you’re a business looking to sponsor an event, provide resources, support our programs, or an organization interested in co-hosting workshops or creating impactful initiatives, we’d love to hear from you.

Call us to explore opportunities and discuss how we can work together to empower sustainable farming and strengthen our community. Let’s cultivate something amazing together!

Our most pressing need is assistance cultivating land for our Veterans and Children’s Therapeutic Farming Program. We have already secured the plot of land, but we require support to prepare it for farming. This includes tasks like soil preparation, irrigation setup, and planting.

Your help—whether through volunteer labor, donations of equipment or materials, or sponsorship—will directly contribute to creating a space where veterans and children can thrive through therapeutic and sustainable farming practices. Together, we can bring this impactful project to life!
