We are grateful to our Founders for their early and invaluable support.

From our hearts, we sincerely thank our Founders Group for their steadfast dedication to our mission and their significant contributions to the cause.

Founders are individuals, families, friends, businesses, organizations and informal groups of people who supported the Collaborative in its early stages of organization by making a one-time financial contribution of $100 or more, beyond regular membership fees. In the spring of 2006, these generous individuals and groups strengthened the Permaculture movement, helped establish the Collaborative's self-sustaining infrastructure and funded critical start-up costs, ensuring the movement's future here in the Upper Midwest cold temperate climate bioregions. It is their generosity that made the founding of PRI Cold Climate a great success.
