Our Vision:
The Growing Hope Foundation was established by Jerry and Lois Epland in order to achieve two lofty goals. The first goal is paramount and that is that their farmland be held by the foundation, and properly cared for, into perpetuity. The second goal is that the revenue generated by their farmland be used to support work that will positively impact the world, particularly people who face economic challenges.
Our Mission:
The mission of Growing Hope Foundation is two-fold. The first mission is to manage the Growing Hope farms according to the best practices as established by our founders and our board. Our second mission is to create innovative programs that positively impact lives. The programs may change from time to time as we experiment with ideas that have roots in both economics and compassion.
