Plant With Purpose

In 2021, Plant With Purpose received $10,000 in unrestricted funds. With help from The West Foundation, Plant with Purpose plans to establish 821 new Purpose Groups while strengthening more than 2,000 existing groups that will mobilize farmers to plant more than eight million trees. Additionally, the organization plans to host agroecology workshops with a cumulative attendance of more than 73,000 people. Through these program activities and the relationships they build, farming families around the world are gaining resilience.

Plant With Purpose is impacting the lives of farming families facing poverty and land degradation, empowering them to improve their livelihoods, heal entire watersheds, and gain resilience in the face of unexpected shocks. Their work has been particularly crucial in the past year and a half, as COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the world, including the areas where they work. The organization has witnessed their partnering farmers adapt brilliantly to this hardship, and remain resilient, largely thanks to the skills and practices gained and implemented through their partnership with Plant with Purpose.
