Earth Activist Training: Donate!

Contribute to the
EAT Mycelium Fund.

EAT is purely grassroots. Student tuition pays only a portion of EAT course costs, and many students come on scholarship. We need your financial and in-kind donations to support and expand the base of urgently needed, solutions-oriented Earth Activists. Make a contribution to the EAT Mycelium Fund, and keep the roots for EAT graduates growing strong. Your tax deductible donation will be used to support all aspects of the program – from the classes, scholarships, and teachers to the administration and infrastructure required to keep EAT going.

Make a monthly pledge for exponential impact.
Many of you are out there, right now, doing your regenerative activism on a daily basis. (Thanks!) And you may not have a lot of financial wealth to share. But please, think about the value of Earth Activist Training. And think about how desperately we need more activists of this caliber. Then give whatever you can. The results of even a small pledge of $10/month will be exponentially effective in the big picture. Because every dollar you donate will help train more passionate, intelligent people to cleanse the soil, heal the water, share their skills, and restore the balance – in countless and priceless ways.

Just to be clear, we welcome donations of every size and kind. Large. Small. One-time. Quarterly. Annual. Sporadic. We gratefully accept it all. And now we invite you to choose the way you will contribute to this most necessary educational endeavor:

EAT Mycelium Fund Monthly Giving Circle. Here you make a much-needed monthly financial gift to Earth Activist Training. You choose the amount you want charged to your debit or credit card monthly. Charges will continue until you tell us to stop.

EAT Mycelium Fund Individual Gift. This option enables you to make a one-time donation in any amount you wish.

“I love teaching EAT courses because I see our students go away full of hope, enthusiasm, commitment, and real skills for making change.” --Starhawk, co-founder, Earth Activist Training

EAT students
We need your help to disseminate these needed skills

To thank you for your support...
Whether you choose to make a monthly contribution or a one-time donation, you will receive the following:

Early notification and priority consideration for upcoming EAT courses.
Mycelial connections with a large (and growing) network of regenerative activists.
Invitations to teleseminars and conference calls.
Notification of special resources, like our Climate Change Primer and our forthcoming videos.
Mention on our website (if you want it.)

And, perhaps most importantly, you'll receive a good strong dose of peace of mind. Because your financial support helps broaden the base of Earth Activists who know how to create magically sustainable permie paradises right here on Earth. (Isn't that comforting?)

In 2003, about 25% of our students had scholarship assistance. In 2004, about 40% of our students received full or partial scholarships. From 2005 to today, over 50%. We're on a roll!

You may already know that many of our EAT students take on vital projects upon graduation. Bioremediation in New Orleans. Rain catchment systems in Bolivia. Women's programs in Palestine. Rebuilding homes in post-tsunami South India. Other EAT grads are out there producing and using biodiesel. Organizing urban community gardens. Establishing soil farms and worm ranches. Restoring watersheds and habitats. Protecting sacred lands from golf-course-style development. And sharing the principles of permaculture with all those who are interested in co-creating more sustainable systems.

In fact, you can rely on most EAT students to discuss and demonstrate the regenerative principles of permaculture with anyone who shows the slightest interest. Taking inspiration from the mycelium growing just beneath the soil, EAT graduates propagate networks of information, inspiration, and support where the magic of community education and empowerment takes root, branches out, and thrives.

We ask your help to make Earth Activist Training available to all, especially those willing to commit their time to reshape their communities, and our world. Let's get them the skills they need to be more effective.
