Founded and funded by Shelley Peng and Devin Field, Peng Field Foundation provides grants to organizations and in some cases specific projects. Grant amounts and timing vary from year to year. We are always open to reviewing project proposals and worthy causes if they fit within the scope of the Foundation's mission. For information regarding the Foundation's current efforts or grantees, please email us using the contact page. Some of the organizations we support are listed on this page. Peng Field Foundation thanks Kiss The Ground for its inspiration and we salute the great work they are doing to teach regenerative techniques around the world.
Forest School Project
The Foundation has supported Portland's International Leadership Academy (ILA) in its effort to continue to expand and upgrade its outdoor education program called Forest School. ILA is Portland based French immersion school dedicated to cultivating globally minded, bilingual leaders from an early age.
Cape Meares Watershed Conservancy Project
The Foundation has been a proud supporter of Cape Mears Community Association (CMCA)'s watershed project. After more than two and a half years of hard work and negotiations, the small Oregon coastal community had come together to stop a potential deforestation of over 120 acres of land, protecting its watershed and natural habitats, and its existing old growth forests. The community is currently working with the Conservation Fund, their bridge buyer, and the Cape Meares Wildlife Refuge (US Fish & Wildlife Service). With all necessary approvals, the Wildlife Refuge could eventually expand its current boundary by adding more than 200 acres of the community land to its existing 137 acres. If successful, the effort will protect its watershed in perpetuity, a major achievement for this small community.
Madagascar Reforestation
Madagascar Reforestation
The Foundation is partnering with Tetikasa Ala, an NGO headquartered in Paris, and working in the highlands of Madagascar to fund a regenerative agriculture and permaculture reforestation project at Ranomafana. On 3.6 hectares, local farmer families are taught the principles of agroecology, and put the practices to work on their own land with the supervision and funding provided by the project. Currently, much of Madagascar is deforested by farmers to grow corn or rice which does little to secure sufficient income or food security for the farmer, and results in tragic loss of habitat for some of the world's most endangered species. The Ala project offers an alternative strategy to grow food in harmony with the forest as a "Food Forest". The project provides income, education, materials and hands on training to empower local communities to grow food to eat, grow products to sell for income, reforest land for habitat, and mitigate effects of draught and climate change.
We created the hand-drawn art below, as milestone NFTs to record the reporting data from the project, as metadata recorded on the blockchain.
Other organizations we support
Peng Field Foundation is a supporter of ECO, a Portland, Oregon based non-profit organization. ECO creates custom-designed ecology content that harnesses the natural curiosity of students and empowers them to build lifelong connections with nature. From engaging in-classroom lessons, to field trips, to habitat restoration projects, to garden-based summer camp, ECO's small but mighty team of educators delivers year-round programming to serve over 6,000 students, K-12 grades in the United States.
Peng Field Foundation is affiliated with the cryptocurrency stake pool YOON, and the Climate Neutral Cardano group, each with parallel missions to that of the Foundation. Blockchain technology will onboard billions of users over the next decade, with potentially devastating impacts to global energy use. We are working to build a carbon negative blockchain ecosystem to preempt that potential trend.
YOON stake pool and Climate Neutral Cardano fund and manage regeneration and reforestation projects around the world to offset the carbon footprint of the Cardano blockchain. They run on 100% renewable power. Two projects co-produced and partially funded by us are Cardano Forest in Kenya, and CNC Ala in Madagascar.
