Regeneration is a creative act
ERA funds and empowers the artists, educators, and land stewards living that commitment
Rooted in the land
In 2025 the inspiration for ERA grew from a working ranch in central Oregon, where rotational grazing restores soil, diversified grasses rebuild habitat, migration corridors reopen for elk, swans, and countless others and the beauty of the land compels creativity. The rancher tends the land — and opens it for education, creative pursuit, and community. ERA was founded to carry that same spirit forward: purposeful, generous stewardship for people and creative life.
Informed over decades by both years of nonprofit agricultural education work and years of creative leadership empowering artist communities an interconnected mission was unveiled:
Enriching the legacy of creativity and regeneration for people and the planet.
This is where
it starts
Art.
Land.
Legacy.
ERA is founded on the vision that a nonprofit endowment’s investments and the funds it grants fulfill the same values. Our regenerative endowment is poised to produce annual income that expresses our mission symbiotically with where it is channeled directly to the artists, educators, and land stewards whose work sustains creative life, deepens community, and regenerates ecosystems in perpetuity.
