With the release of this episode, the podcast is back to full-time production.In this episode I’m joined by Hannah Eckberg, to discuss what she’s been up to since we last spoke in 2017, and her work with Abundant Earth Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, to move philanthropic resources and support to permaculture projects around the world. Along the way we talk about the resources that are available, the role that non-financial support plays in overall success, the kinds of projects Abundant Earth Foundation is looking to work with, the best way to contact the foundation, and much more. If you’re interested in developing an organization, finding like-minded projects and partners around your specific niche, the role which structures like a nonprofit can play in advancing permaculture, or ways to contribute to the movement, this is a conversation for you. https://www.thepermaculturepodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/AbundantEarth.mp3

Donate to the Summer to Fall Fundraiser OnlineJoin The Permaculture Podcast Patreon CommunityIf you are in a place to contribute to any of the many projects they’re working with or to the mother-ship, as Hannah calls it, your donation is tax-deductible and will go to help a number of worthy causes creating impactful change around the world. To go with this interview, below I’m linking to some earlier conversations, like those with Brad Ward and Trevor Tychon, to expand on the ways that nonprofit and philanthropic organizations have an impact on the people and communities they serve. From here, as I mentioned at the beginning of the episode, my sabbatical is complete and the show is back in full production. Over the next 12 months, I’m aiming for 45 long-format podcast episodes. To supplement those and cover your questions as well as the books, resources, and materials that don’t fit into a podcast, I’ve been live streaming on YouTube for the last few months and am adding, at least, 24 of those to the calendar, as well. If you’re able to join those live, they’re also a way for us to have a real-time conversation via your comments and questions in the chat, with my responses coming live on-air during the stream. This production plan is tied to the Summer to Fall fundraiser. My goal this year, between now and the end of October, is to raise $25,000 and fully fund a year of the show. In addition to the episodes and live streams, having the budget for the year taken care of early allows for planning other opportunities like in-person interviews, video site tours and documentaries, and event coverage. If you’re not able to donate at this time, I completely understand, and you can help by sharing your favorite episode of the show, subscribe to the YouTube channel, or dropping me a line with questions to include in an upcoming live stream. If you’re able to contribute to this campaign financially, please do, as your giving allows this work to continue and touch the lives of tens of thousands of people making a difference, for themselves and their communities, every day. If you’d like to learn more about this fundraiser and discuss it with me one-on-one, feel free to get in touch and we can talk about this need in more depth.
