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.
Our network of more than 150 farms are actively working on in-field solutions to increase the nutrient capacity of vegetables, fruits, grains, and proteins to support prescription food programs at U.S. hospitals and patients with Type II diabetes.
We are reversing the trends of rural economic depreciation through stronger agriculture-based markets like prescription food, institutional procurement, and consumer health. Impact to date: $2.4 million.
Our track record says it all: we do what we say we’re going to do. We work with a diverse set of stakeholders across agriculture, food supply, health care, economic development, policy, and beyond, to deliver real-world results.
The Regenerative Endowment (RE) empowers you and your family to shape a healthier future—one where chronic disease is rare and rural economies thrive. This begins with supporting the farmers and ranchers who are transforming their operations into systems that deliver immense social and environmental value. Because everyone depends on farmers for nourishment, your contribution helps accelerate solutions: backing entrepreneurs, closing infrastructure gaps, advancing research, and strengthening the food supply for generations.
The Regenerative Endowment (RE) is designed to align your business goals with meaningful impact in food and agriculture. We help your organization fulfill its mission by building long-term giving programs that not only strengthen your brand but also drive systemic change and show your employees you care. From annual customer-driven campaigns to employee-led initiatives and revenue-based models like 1% giving, we create programs that deliver lasting benefits—for your business, for our mission, and for the health of the planet.
The Regenerative Endowment (RE) gives foundations and community-based organizations a trusted partner to put funds to work right away. We have the capacity and networks to channel resources directly into farmers, ranchers, entrepreneurs, and infrastructure projects in your region that are ready to create impact today. By acting immediately, your support fuels both urgent needs and long-term solutions, all aimed at building a healthier, more resilient food system.

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.
If you are considering any level of donation to a nonprofit, it's important that you know the organization you are giving to is trustworthy. This means making sure they are transparent on financials, impact, and business structure. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and 100% transparent on how we operate, and how your donations make real impacts to our mission.
