to build community

It's time for a new story. Time for a story that puts community at the center, that puts our hope back in our own hands, and that shows us the incredible potential and power of neighbors working side by side to care for each other and the living world. Today, I ask for your contribution to your community. Give generously for great work, good people! 

—Brad Kik, Crosshatch Co-founder and Co-director

Five great reasons to support our work

  1. Crosshatch is growing resilient, connected rural communities with rich culture throughout Northwest Michigan.

  2. More farmers using regenerative methods is a key action moving us towards climate resilience.

  3. The arts bring connection at a time when we’re severely lacking in connections with our neighbors.

  4. Increased food production in our region means we’re less reliant on global systems to feed our communities.

  5. Our work inspires people throughout Northwest Michigan, and we can’t do this work without your support.
