Learn more about your impact
The ASU Farm Fund is dedicated to supporting the establishment and development of ASU Farm, an initiative aimed at fostering sustainable agricultural practices and character building among students and community members. Contributions to this fund will be allocated toward constructing essential infrastructure at Maya's Farm — a local, sustainable farm in South Phoenix — including a shelter to facilitate educational activities. Additionally, the fund will support the creation and implementation of new courses, offering students experiential learning opportunities in sustainable farming. Regular “Friends of the Farm” volunteer days and a speaker series focusing on plant cultivation and character development are also planned, enriching the community's engagement with ethical and environmental topics.
At ASU Farm, we cultivate more than crops—we cultivate character. By reconnecting people to the land, we deepen our understanding of our interdependence with nature and strengthen the relationships that sustain us. Your support helps us grow not just food, but a community rooted in ecological stewardship and sustainability.”
