Part III, Line 4a - Program Service 1: Community Farm Investment and Establishment Outreach Total Expenses: $11,872.02 Grants and Allocations to Others: $0 Revenue: $0 As we are a new charity formed in March 2024, this first year has been focused on establishing infrastructure for our programs. One of our largest initiatives is the foundational phase of our Puerto Rico-based Community Farm, which is intended to serve as a hub for sustainable agriculture, food distribution, and spiritual restoration. This year's work included land scouting, formal partnership development with local universities, relationship-building with landowners, and early-stage planning of retreat programming for future investors and donors. We also engaged in volunteer service with other Puerto Rican charities to deepen community trust and align with local needs. These foundational efforts are critical for the full launch of the farm's operations in 2025 and 2026.

Resources were invested into renewable infrastructure including rechargeable batteries and solar solutions to ensure future program work can operate off-grid and in alignment with sustainable principles.

This program focused on securing essential communications systems and digital infrastructure to ensure continuity of operations in both off-grid and emergency contexts. Investments included satellite internet capabilities, remote access systems, and disaster-resilient hardware, all of which are critical for our work in rural areas with unreliable connectivity. While we await finalization of land acquisition, these systems are being structured into a three-stage implementation plan to allow for rapid scaling as our programs expand.
