I'm looking for a reputable group to help start a non-profit farm, or contribute to an existing organization. I'm going into researching Biology, and felt it could branch well into supplying food. As a startup, money is tight, especially with paying for CLEP exams and study material.

I figure I can put in maybe 30$ for something small, and a video and pictures would speak for itself.
I've only got like 12 sq. ft. right now, but I feel like raising spinach, squash, potatoes, alongside the "perennial favorites" would be a good attraction.

Really appreciate your thoughts

What is your idea bio-tech, yields, resilience? or is it more socioeconomic project?

Since you are not for profit, you need to seek the crowd-funding that is charitable, and you will need to make that case, choosing the appropriate site that would best showcase these aims.

Not all not for profit has a charitable cause, so if you cannot make that case you need to provide an incentive.

Right, but I think one of their rules is no charity appeals

kisskissbankbank is a European crowdfunding site and they accept charity appeals in certain cases. I read of someone who collected money to built a school in Bangladesh.
