Ways to Give
Endowment For Urban Farming
A portion of all donations will be invested in Crop Swap LA’s groundbreaking Endowment for Urban Farming, ensuring long-term support for local growers, expanding nutrient-rich food access, and strengthening our shared commitment to a healthier, more resilient food system in Los Angeles.
You Believe In Nutritious Food
Produce at all Crop Swap LA™ microfarms is grown with organic pest control. Veggies are harvested and delivered to members within 4 hours of harvest providing optimal nutrients. SNAP/EBT cards are accepted at all microfarms because everyone should have affordable and easy access to nutrient rich food.
Donate Non-Cash Assets

"I, too, had a crazy idea of funding urban farmers in the 30th, connecting art with health and transit and climate and food and economic sustainability. I found $4 million last year and gave it to Jamiah to help him blow up Crop Swap LA. And he did more than I could ever imagine."
