Full Description (Required)
ETR is a environmentally conscious living community where homeless and/or in transition young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 come together with abused, neglected and/or homeless animals in need of love and healing The young adults that become residents of the Ranch learn to nurture the animals and prepare them for adoption while also learning about caring for the Earth's environment. They learn many things on the Ranch, but specifically they learn about organic gardening, alternative energy sources, minimizing their carbon footprint, how to care for animals, and how to work in community for the benefit of all. There are many programs at Earth Tribe Ranch that will help these young adults to heal, grow and learn. The young adult residents will be involved in all aspects of the facility: animal welfare, support and adoption, organic garden & greenhouse (includes Farmer's Market), kitchen & food prep, health & wellness, community newsletter participation, and eventual participation in "reduce, reuse, recycle" store.
Funding Purpose
ETR is in need of funding in any amount. Because our need for water and better soil, we are relocating to Colorado in April. We have established our official tax-exempt status with the IRS and are in the process of putting together all of the financials for our non-profit business plan. We have an amazing Governing Board full of highly compassionate and qualified individuals.
Specific Assistance (other)
We are in need of a piece of property in Colorado. Boulder, Jefferson or Gilpin County. Possibly Broomfield county as well.
