Partnering
At Emergence Group, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, we partner with Native communities and support their skill and resilience through the power of Food. Only through your support can we continue to do this.
Since 2018, we have been providing opportunities on the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe for youth and adults to strengthen their community health and income potential by stimulating growing marketing of food.
We are working across an area the size of West Virginia with only 15 groceries.
Now more then ever, our project are particularly crucial when COVID and climate change are impacting opportunities for growth.
We are not a charity that provides food, we provide opportunities for local producers to get the resources they need to grow and market their own food, feeing the local community and securing sustaining income from sales to larger markets.
We support the infrastructure until Native producers can be self-sustaining.
When you choose to partner with us we invite you to engage in our overall Mission or in one or more of the following projects below.
Partners will receive follow on information, visuals and event invitations as the Goals are achieved.
