Support Rooted

Growing Community. Together.

Your Impact Matters

Community support through financial donations allows Rooted to sustain community gardens, expand vital education programs, and ensure equitable access to food and land for all.

With the current federal funding landscape, grants that had been available for urban farming, conservation practices, and land equity may no longer be funded, and we are actively seeking funds to cover this new reality.

We need you.

As community members, your support ensures that equitable, inclusive urban agriculture thrives, not just for today, but for generations to come.

Your gift is a direct investment in our youth, the health of our neighbors, the sustainability of our ecosystem, and the vitality of our community.

Please, give generously today. Help us bridge the gap and secure the future of Rooted. Every dollar makes a difference.

More Ways to Give

Monthly Donations

Sustaining donations allow our education and farm teams to plan for the year ahead. Knowing we have your ongoing support allows us to grow the gardens that feed, educate and inspire kids and adults throughout Dane County. Make a recurring gift today.

Donor Advised Funds

We are grateful for all gifts received through DAFs, whether through your own fund, or with the help of the Madison Community Foundation. We appreciate your desire to contribute to Rooted’s important work of bringing equity to all stages of the local food system. Have questions? Contact us.

Major Giving

The impact of any gift of $5,000 or more, is exponential in meeting our funding needs, and we depend on donors like you. If there is a particular program that you feel meets your giving goals, and you would like to make a direct impact, please reach out and we can talk about becoming a program steward.

Whether you are a community gardener, a neighbor, or someone who cares deeply about the impact of urban agriculture as a way to preserve green spaces, many community members want to ensure Rooted’s programming will be here for decades to come.

If leaving an impact is part of your legacy planning, we would be grateful if a gift to Rooted is part of your plans. If you would like more information on how to leave a bequest, please reach out.

Legacy Giving

Donate Stocks

Why donate stocks?

“I reflected that many middle class folks like myself own stocks, perhaps more than necessary, and could see this moment as an opportunity to make a statement by getting rid of high tech holdings: switching them for ESG assets or better yet, those of us who can afford it, donating them to community organizations that are bound to suffer from the on-going dismantling of federal programs. I gleefully started this process a few weeks ago. I chose Rooted as one such organization because I value all it accomplishes in sustainable farming, healthy food accessibility and education. During my years at Lake View Elementary, I was able to see first-hand how students benefit from its initiatives.” – Nora M.

At Rooted, we are dedicated to fostering a resilient local food system, promoting sustainable agriculture, and ensuring equitable access to land and fresh, nutritious food for all. Our events are an integral part of how we deliver on our mission of bringing our community together through food, land, and learning.

Corporate sponsorship plays an important role in our finances and in building community connection. By supporting a Rooted event, our sponsors help us continue our work and have the opportunity to reach the community in a new way. We are excited to build relationships with sponsors that benefit all and bring the Madison community together.
