PHILANTHROPY

THE NEED IS URGENT

Years of neglect and extraction have created a wasteland. The APA has an opportunity to return the land and community into a thriving self-sustaining model with benefits well into the future

WE KNOW WHAT WILL WORK

We can transform Allensworth from a depleted desert to a thriving self-sustaining community:

• The land has more to give. But, by only planting one crop, industrial landowners have depleted the soil

• Through community-led regenerative farming on land we own and control, we can restore the entire cycle:  A community nurtured through the rejuvenation they provide to the life-sustaining elements under their stewardship

WE CAN'T DO THIS ALONE

We need partners who can help us buy land and restore the soil and the community 

THE ENTIRE STATE WILL BENEFIT

Allensworth is the model for ALL Central Valley 

• Multi-faceted governance
• Financial oversight
• Revenue generation
• Leadership alignment
• Clean food systems
• Engaging youth around health, movement, and creativity
• Decades long partnerships with local colleges

CONSERVATION IS NOT ENOUGH

The current 30×30 framework preserves land but leaves underlying climate threats unaddressed:

• Air quality
• Soil loss and salinity
• Water scarcity
• Aquifer depletion
• And overall community welfare

APA HAS A BETTER 30X30 SOLUTION

Regenerative stewardship that:

• Restores working landscapes
• Strengthens ecological function, and 
• demonstrates measurable climate benefits at scale
