Support your
farmers market!

donate today

Only 50% of our organization’s operating costs are covered via vendor fees. We keep vendor fees low to help incubate small farmers and new businesses, and we need your help to make up the difference! Your donation supports the maintenance of our vibrant community gathering spaces, the markets’ educational programming, and our efforts to build a stronger local food system.

As a 501c4 social welfare nonprofit, contributions or gifts to Neighborhood Roots are not tax deductible. However, your support is vitally important for the work that we do!

We offer a variety of secure payment options to make it easier to donate online (see below)! Make a one-time donation or set up monthly donations (which we greatly appreciate).

Set up a monthly donation of $10/month ($120/year) or more and automatically join our Sustaining Markets Membership Program!
