Campaign Summary
At TigerMountain Foundation, we’ve spent years transforming over 200 vacant spaces into community gardens. These gardens have become more than spaces for growing food, they’ve become powerful platforms for education, employment, community healing, and purpose.
Now, our work is evolving—and expanding.
We are launching a new chapter that includes:
- A permanent community and entrepreneur incubator: the AZ Impact Center
- A national Urban Ag & STEAAM Initiative connecting cities through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Agriculture, and Math.
- A bridge campaign to fund the team and initiatives that drive our mission daily.
To make this vision real, we need our greatest resource and that’s YOU.
That includes volunteers,
partners, and peer supporters who believe in sustainable,
people-powered change
Our Origin StoryIn one of the most underserved neighborhoods in Phoenix, TigerMountain Foundation began with a question: What happens when people grow their own food, and their own future? We invited neighbors to join us: youth needing purpose, elders with wisdom to share, returning citizens ready for a second chance. We gave them the tools, space, and support to plant, harvest, and thrive together. Over the years, we’ve grown:
But that was just the
beginning. |
The Moment We’re In
Our gardens taught us what’s possible when people are trusted and resourced.
Now, we’re scaling that impact to meet the urgency of this
moment with three connected initiatives:
1. The AZ Impact Center
A vibrant hub located in South Phoenix that will serve as a center for entrepreneurship, education, food justice, and leadership development. This space will host workforce opportunities, family services, and urban agriculture innovation under one roof.
2. With the Urban Ag & STEAAM Initiative
from Phoenix to cities across the country, we’re building community-based Urban Ag centers that integrate Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Agriculture, and Math. These opportunities provide youth, adults, and seniors with real skills and creative expression while solving food insecurity from the ground up.
3. The Bridge
To bring this vision to life, we need to retain our team, fund
our frontline mentors, and provide operational stability. “The
Bridge” is our immediate fundraising priority, a way to protect what
we’ve built while scaling up what’s next.
