The Regenerative Endowment

A Unique Philanthropic Fund Built to Connect Agriculture, Health Care, and Community Leaders

Let's change our food supply to help reduce chronic disease, support farmers, and rebuild community-based local economies


THE REGENERATIVE ENDOWMENT is a philanthropic fund started in 2025 and managed by Think Regeneration, a national nonprofit leader in the regenerative movement. With your support, we can create a food supply that delivers outcomes like human health, rural economic resilience, and entrepreneurial development to millions of Americans. To start, we have raised more than $50,000. If this mission speaks to you, please consider supporting our endowment that will directly contribute to our ability to build systems that nourish us all. It's possible, and the time is now. 


Contact executive director Ryan Slabaugh, ryan@thinkregeneration.com or 970-389-5218, to learn more about how you, your company, or your organization can participate. A group of advisors will manage the funds to support nationwide programs that are accelerating change in food and agriculture.

“In 2025, Think Regeneration has been a driving force in moving Food is Medicine from concept into systems change.”


Erin Martin, FreshRx Oklahoma

“Think Regeneration is leading the charge in educating consumers on sourcing food locally, helping farmers transition to a different kind of agriculture, and facilitating supply chain relationships in which everyone wins."


Will Harris, White Oak Pastures

“It’s not a transaction, it’s a relationship. I know when I can bring people to learn about Think Regeneration, they’re not looking to make a one-time donation. They’re realizing that this is the real deal and that this team cares about the relationship and the work they are doing."


Marty Travis, The Spence Farm

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@thinkregeneration.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

An endowment is a pool of donated financial assets, such as cash, stocks, or property, that is invested to generate ongoing income for a good cause. The account is governed to ensure the timing of the deployment of funds best serves the regenerative movement.


Contact Ryan Slabaugh at ryan@thinkregeneration.com or 970-389-5218 to discuss how you can give a gift for which future generations will be thankful.


Yes. Our partners at Thrivent Charitable can help you turn your property, vehicles, or even livestock into cash contributions to the Regenerative Endowment.


Yes. If you want to give more than $1,000 or make a repeating long-term gift and care about your tax benefits, we encourage you to reach out to us in advance for free consultation. 


Programs. We will operate under the strictest protocols to ensure all funds are dedicated to programming, unless otherwise directed by the donor. Our primary needs will be to support the leaders on the ground leading change in their community, while providing them the tools, infrastructure, and network to succeed. To date, more than 95% of our funding has gone directly to program support.


An advisory board. These leaders in the regenerative movement will provide recommendations to the Think Regeneration Board of Directors, which will vote on allocations, bylaw updates, and compliance measures, at least on an annual basis. An annual report will be produced. We are currently finalizing bylaws and recruiting advisory board members.


TBD. We expect to raise well more than our targeted goal of $200,000, which will go a long way to repairing gaps in infrastructure and labor needed to achieve our mission. Spending will be advised by the board and donors.
