ALVARA Foundation
ALVARA Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It funds pollinator conservation, supports veteran vitality, and builds the community around both.
Vitality flows through relationships of mutual care. That is not a tagline for us, it is the operating principle of the Foundation. Two programs carry the work.
Stewards of the Hive
Sacred partnership with pollinators. The program funds Indigenous beekeeping, habitat restoration, and regenerative apiculture, alongside public education and a growing collective of organizations devoted to the vitality of pollinators and the ecosystems that depend on them.
Front Line Vitality
Education, research, and community programming dedicated to the sustained vitality of veterans, active duty military, and first responders. Led by ALVARA co-founder Jamieson Slough, a USMC Major and F/A-18 Hornet pilot.
How the Foundation is funded
Every jar of MycoNectar™ supports the Foundation's work. ALVARA Sanctuary, once secured, will serve as the Foundation's physical home, with both programs operating from the land.
Support the work
If this resonates with you, as a donor, a partner, or someone who simply wants to see this kind of project exist in the world, we would welcome the conversation.
