The Bountiful Garden Foundation is a completely volunteer run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which promotes healthy, sustainable agriculture in local communities by raising premium, organically grown produce that is then converted into funds for local and international humanitarian efforts (specifically for post trauma stress relief).

Any produce that we raise that can not be converted to cash gets deposited directly into local food banks such as Second Harvest, Salvation Army or other municipal relief organizations.

Mission

Our mission is to establish sustainable, organic, volunteer-run gardens across the country and around the globe to raise money for humanitarian relief efforts.  We promote healthy lifestyles, service, youth activism and awareness.  If you're interested in starting a Bountiful Garden in your city or town, please send us an email.

Our model is that every penny we get for our tomatoes, fruits and vegetables goes directly towards humanitarian trauma relief.   Currently, we've selected IAHV (The International Association for Human Values) as our recipient due to their scientifically proven techniques for alleviating trauma associated symptoms.  Recently, IAHV was named the official post traumatic stress disorder organization by the New Orleans city council in the wake of Hurricane Katrina (where BGF's money has gone in 2006-2007) and for Hurricane Ike in 2008.

We cover our own internal operational costs by having a tomato plant sale each spring, thus making us a completely self-sustaining and self-contained organization.

 

Thanks,

The Bountiful Garden Team
