Donate and Support

That We May Live Together

Big or small, every donation helps us in our important work.

Over 1,400 graduates of the Rural Leaders Training Program have returned to their home organizations in positions of leadership. They have led transitions to sustainable agriculture, building just economic systems while improving soil health and species biodiversity. Their successes are only possible thanks to donations from the global ARI community. 
More than half of ARI’s yearly revenue depends on general donations. Organizations, groups, and individuals like you ensure that our education programs continue to impact lives and change the world for the better.
You sustain our efforts to fulfill our mission: to build an environmentally healthy, just and peaceful world. 

Support our most urgent needs with a donation to ARI programming, or donate to an endowment fund dedicated to the memory of our founder, Toshihiro Takami.
Endowment funds support Participants each year with scholarships to train the future leaders of rural communities worldwide, providing practical and theoretical techniques immediately applicable to a multitude of contexts, and the leadership and community development skills to convey these techniques to grassroots communities.

Our US-based partner organization, the 501(c)(3) American Friends of ARI (AFARI), handles individual donations to ARI from the United States and will issue receipts for tax exemption.

Official supporters receive our newsletters and are invited to special events.
