Cultivate Community with CEI!
Where People and Nature Thrive Together!
Since 2019 CEI has been creating a unique place of common ground at our Freetown Farm location in Columbia and as of 2023 our land stewardship includes the sanctuary-like space of the Green Farmacy Garden in Fulton, bringing our total land conservation to almost 13 acres in Howard County. These lands are now places where people can learn through hands-on experiences about how they can lead happier, healthier, more connected and sustainable lives. Such spaces have the power to help transform communities, heal the environment, and bring people together with a sense of hope and purpose for the future.
This fundraising campaign is focused on helping the Community Ecology Institute have the operational resources needed to care for these two properties, invest in our essential staff, grow our core educational programs and bring both innovative workshops and healthy food to the community. Monthly donations are especially helpful as we seek to sustain a steady operating budget. Please consider making a pledge today to support CEI monthly for the next year. Sustaining contributions matter deeply, watering the roots of all we do and everything we grow. If you prefer to make your contribution via check please mail it to the Community Ecology Institute at 8000 Harriet Tubman Lane, Columbia, MD 21044. Thank you!
