Review of Upcoming Fundraisers

Fund Development Ideas and Next Steps
The Foundation Board met on Oct 21, 2025 and have the following fundraising ideas:
- Foundation Board president met with Tyree Smith - Smith would like to use his property to host a student art show, for the community to purchase student art
- Survival preparedness workshop in the spring, on Smith's property (73 acres) and the school's farm. Possibly partner with 4-H
Strategic Plan Review
Build a working farm and food hub
Focus: Partnership Development, Servant Leadership
Metrics:
- Grow 50% of food used on campus by 2028
- Distribute 100,000 lbs of produce annually to feed families
- 100% of students participate in agricultural and food justice projects
Initiatives:
- Expand farm operations with goats, chickens, greenhouse crops
- National partnership with farm to school
- Partner with Atlanta Community Food Bank and USDA for food hub distribution
- Develop a farm to table culinary program for middle school
- Establish a student farm apprenticeship program (grades 6-8)
Principal Muhammad would like a farmer's market at the school twice a month on Saturday mornings.
It is suggested that we start tracking the number of people who receive the food giveaway boxes.
We need a farm manager within 1-2 years. Foundation Board/Fund Development should fund the cost of that position. Ideally, the position would be part time, 2-3 days per week.
Possibly, high school students could get credit to maintain our farm.
