How to Donate
Give directly
Beacon Food Forest relies on community-powered funding. Help us keep the Food Forest thriving as an accessible, community-run, and free public resource: no gates, no fees, no barriers - just open harvest, fresh food, and hands-on learning for everyone. Please consider supporting our community space with a financial gift today.
Choose a one-time gift or join our community of monthly supporters committed to long-term change.
Monthly sustaining donation
Monthly giving is essential because it provides the steady resources we need to coordinate volunteers, keep the site safe and stocked with supplies, and plan for ongoing improvements and accessibility work. With sustained support, we can also cover core staff responsibilities and stay in good standing as a 501(c)(3) so we can continue accepting donations, receiving grants, and completing the reporting required to do this work long-term. Monthly giving is an investment in the legacy of Beacon Food Forest for generations to come. Monthly gifts can be changed or canceled anytime.
