Capital Campaign Purpose:
An Invitation to Transform Culture In just over a decade, The Ecology Center has transformed a barren, overworked 28-acre industrial farm into a thriving hub of ecological food and culture. Guided by nature’s wisdom and empowered by the incredible support of our community, we’ve created a dynamic model for living in harmony with the earth. Now, the ecology is thriving, and the community is hungry for more. This next chapter centers on expanding our offering and planting seeds of change throughout the bioregion. Together we will cultivate an abundant future. Southern California was once the nation’s bread and fruit basket, a region brimming with life-giving farmland. Today, The Ecology Center stands as one of the last organic farms in the area—a rare and critical opportunity to serve as a model for transformation. Using this land and our expertise in instructional and experiential design, we aim to inspire entrepreneurs, organizations, and individuals to create similar projects that can shift culture locally and globally.

Campaign Goal: $20,000,000

Capital Campaign Start Date: January 1, 2025

Capital Campaign End Date: December 31, 2029

Capital Campaign Raised-to-Date Amount: $5,000,000
