Building Capacity, Deepening Impact!
Wasatch Community Gardens (WCG) is actively responding to the growing and evolving needs of our community, meeting these needs through sustainable, equitable, and intentional actions.
Catalyzed by the need to move our Green Phoenix Farm and driven by a vision to address food insecurity for members of our community who are disproportionately affected by limited or no access to fresh, healthy food, we developed a five-year capacity and capital building plan to propel WCG to a new level of operations that can be sustained, once elevated, without extraordinary measures. The Five-Year, $5 Million Growth Plan launched in 2023 and as we approach the end of year two, we are excited to share the progress and impact of this initiative. Please watch the video above to learn more about our 35 year history and how we are inviting our community to GROW WITH US into the WCG of the future!
Through the extraordinary support of hundreds of individuals, foundations, and businesses, and a remarkable 2:1 $2 Million matching grant from the Alternative Visions Fund, we have raised over $3 Million of this Growth Plan. THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to the Five-Year Growth Plan over the past two years. By the end of five years - in 2028 - WCG will have sustainably built sufficient capacity, with equitable pay and intentional structure so we can meet the growing demands of our community. This Plan builds upon the three all-important pillars that guide our actions:
- Preserving Productive Green Space
- Establishing Sharable Models
- Strengthening Organization Partnerships
