Challenged Communities need help. There are areas of increased incarceration and poor health choices. The TigerMountain Foundation reverses that problem through our community gardens and landscaping initiatives. These initiatives teach practical life skills to kids, adults, and seniors, keeping them out of jail, and improving their lives and community. We are a Non-Profit Community Garden located in Phoenix, AZ.
The mission of TigerMountain Foundation (TMF) is to empower people by building flourishing community gardens, providing job skills, support, and workforce development through neighborhood revitalization and beautification with our multi-ethnic and multi-generational initiatives. TMF helped 1123 persons plus their families and friends in 2018. Also, many were referred to us through parole/justice systems. Another 2200 volunteer mentors also helped us accomplish this outreach initiative to resolve food scarcity and educate participants on job skills to earn a living wage. An additional 3,000 also gained knowledge through speaking engagements. Funding has generally been from grants and individual and corporate donors. However, in 2019 has seen a major push for self-sufficiency through our agri-landscape (agricultural landscaping) initiatives and farmers market sales.
