ISLAND is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your tax-deductible contribution will help us build our residency program, purchase equipment (from library books to GIS software to landscaping equipment) and enable us to pay for important consulting services! You can earmark your contribution for a specific use if you wish.

For example:

• $25 will purchase a book or magazine subscription for our library or a couple of used tools for permaculture landscape work;
• $50 will purchase an important piece of software, enable us to print a run of brochures or rent an event space for a local workshop;
• $100 will buy an hour of consulting work with an architect, permaculture teacher, attorney, accountant or engineer! ISLAND's growth is the work of dozens of consultants, not all of whom offer pro bono services!
• $250 will buy a year of high-speed internet, 10-15 books for our library*, cover admission to an energy or permaculture conference or buy a hardy fruit tree for our permaculture plot;
• $500 will buy a solar panel or 5-6 square feet of our upcoming arts residency lodge - our goal is to have a LEED certified natural building to house up to a dozen artists and ecologists;
• $1000 will buy a year's worth of printing services, cover all of the expenses of a workshop, buy materials for a yurt or 20 square feet of barn or studio space, or an entire greenhouse!
• $2500 will buy 500 square feet of flooring for a studio, will cover the costs of a paid intern for the summer or will meet all of the expenses for holding a major workshop!
