We are incredibly grateful to the Wildhorse Foundation for supporting Compost Casa with a grant to expand our hands-on compost and soil education programs.
This funding will help us add a commercial shredder to process organic materials for our demonstration compost systems — turning waste into soil while students learn real-world environmental solutions.
We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with Ione School District to bring more experiential learning opportunities to local students.

Thank you, Wildhorse Foundation, for investing in rural education and community impact.

We're thrilled to announce the Wildhorse Foundation's Q4 grant awards! 👏

A total of $353,606 has been awarded this quarter across 25 organizations driving transformative change 🎉 We're honored to stand by these partners and advance these initiatives—from essential public safety enhancements to salmon habitat restoration.
