Bryant & Co. Foundation is raising funds to secure the lease of the anchor property in Paso Robles, California from The Living Ground LLC, our for-profit parent company. This is the land where every workshop, every animal, every educational program, and every community experience will live.

The property purchase itself is being handled through The Living Ground LLC. The Foundation's role is to fund the nonprofit lease of the educational spaces on that land so we can legally and sustainably deliver our programming. Think of it as renting the classroom before you can teach the class.

How your donation will be used:
Funds go directly toward lease payments, land use agreements, legal documentation, and the initial site preparation needed to begin educational programming on the property.

How it will be tracked and reported:
Every dollar raised toward this campaign will be documented in our accounting system and reported quarterly to donors via email update. Lease agreements and expenditures will be available to major donors upon request. We are committed to full transparency from the first dollar to the last.

Why this comes first:
Without securing the land, nothing else on this list can happen. The animals, the workshops, the Cool Bus, the farm stand, all of it roots here. This is the seed of everything.
