Help Cityfarm Grow

"I thought forests were just in fairy tale books"

(Mona, 6 1/2 year Cityfarmer)

At Cityfarm Edmonton, children and youth experience their development first-hand, in a variety of activities focused around growing food, caring for animals and the importance of the natural world.

Cityfarm makes a special effort to reach out to children and youth, especially those from under-serviced communities where they are at risk.

We do so with the generous support of our community.  Nearly 50% of Cityfarm funding comes from individuals and family donors.  Like you, they recognize the importance of Cityfarm and its impact on the development of a healthy child. 

With your support, Cityfarm will continue to provide youngsters like Mona a life-changing experience with the chickens, in the orchard, and yes, in the forest too!

Your generosity creates these possibilities:

• Growing Together Fund provides valuable unrestricted dollars that afford us the flexibility to address needs when and where they arise.

• Program Fund ensures program stability, staff continuity, and the essentials to run our programs.

• Cityfarm Little Green Thumbs Program Fund creates edible indoor gardens in schools and after-school care centres.

• Special Projects and Events  2007 - 2008 sponsorship opportunities

• Tribute Giving  Make a gift in honor or memory of someone special.

• Gifts of Materials and Services

"Play in nature, particularly during the critical period of middle childhood, appears to be an especially important time for developing the capacities for creativity, problem-solving, and emotional and intellectual development."
