Indigenous Nature Conservancy

The Quaponda Tribe is seeking funding to support a Tribally owned Non-Profit known as the Indigenous Nature Conservancy (CIRCA 1111). Our tribe and team are the creators of Preserve the Gullah, Growing Spirit, Local Pulse, Folly Beach Farmers Market and many other local and Indigenous programs. https://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/story/preserve-the-gullah-launches-oyster-renourishment-project-this-june-at-mosquito-beach?oid=28311407 Our mission is to benefit local properties  through community cooperatives that enhance the economy, land value, and sustainability of that specific location. https://www.coastalconservationleague.org/projects/oysters/ Our tribe has 20 years of experience providing nature programs, tribal retail, natural resources, public access to water, educational programming, farmer markets, tribal products, community events, and many more local logistics. https://walterborolive.com/stories/volunteers-undertaking-historic-james-island-oyster-reef-build,21098? With your support we can open a centralized location that will host our 20+ partners to serve the local Sea-Islands of South Carolina. https://www.live5news.com/2019/10/05/local-group-works-preserve-johns-island-land-nature-park/ We will host weekly and monthly events with families, partners and friends on historical locations which creates impact jobs for locals, as well as opportunities for youth to have a career. https://www.citypapertickets.com/events/109601570/the-hub-presents-souled-out-sunday-farmers-market-arts-showcase  . Our current public relations crisis led us to create a community petition against the City of Charleston for illegally replicating our SBA approved business plan during our presentations to the Greenbelt program. We have much evidence and testimonials that show our logistics being undermined and over $30,000 Dollars and 90,000 community work hours being disregarded.

Support us today and join the local GCVB at gullahcvb.com to become a certified member with unique access to our many events and programs!

We currently are sustained in multiple locations like the Charleston Gibbes Museum, Kendra Scott, Tobins Market, Off-Track Ice cream and many more locations hosting our tribal agenda to support the Indigenous Nature Conservancy Start-Up Fund. https://store.gibbesmuseum.org/collections/quopanda-tribe  Blessings, Peace and Light!
