Red Clover Collaborative
Committed to building a more equitable, sustainable, and resilient future by equipping nonprofits and leaders with the strategies, connections, and resources they need.
cWho We Are
Red Clover Collaborative works with movement leaders, nonprofits, coalitions, funders, and networks to strengthen the systems that sustain the food and farm justice movement. Our team brings decades of experience across food systems, agriculture, and social justice. We have led organizations, managed transitions, administered grants, and supported teams navigating uncertainty. Together, we help movements grow stronger, more resilient, and more just.
We are fiscally sponsored by Curanopy and guided by an advisory council of experienced food and farm justice leaders.
Our Approach
Red Clover Collaborative helps organizations and leaders by providing structure, support, and collaboration needed to stabilize operations, strengthen leadership, and align the movement’s shared story and power. We tend to the health and well-being of the organizations and leaders that form the backbone of the food and farm justice movement. Our work collectively strengthens the systems and relationships that keep the food and farm justice movement cohesive, strategic, and sustainable.
