We invite you to join us as a Provender Alliance Steward. Your monthly, quarterly, or annual contribution will provide the means for Provender’s solid footing into the future. As a Steward, you are an essential part of the natural foods movement of ensuring independence and integrity for generations to come.

Provender is unique because the organization is not funded or supported by large, multi-national corporations. Our core support comes through our business and individual members, all of whom have the most impact on local, regenerative food economies. Provender is supporting and creating within this ecosystem, which your contribution will further sustain.

There are many ways to become a Provender Steward. You can tailor your contributions to fit your budget: One time, monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, or annually.

Stewardship Fund founder Gavin McComas, of Sundance Natural Foods in Eugene, OR has given $1,000 per month, committing to a total $50,000 pledge over a 5 year time period. Gavin recently left our earthly plane, and it was his fervent desire to have his monthly giving matched by other businesses in our community. We invite you to join Gavin in helping to sustain Provender into the future.
