Welcome to Giving to Change

• Trust
• Respect
• Reciprocity
• Human Flourishing 

In 2022 we acquired 160 acres of land in the Stanislaus National Forrest from which to execute our purpose.  We are helping to develop a sociocratic governing system  within the Hummingbird community.

• Weather- hot summers, cold winters, some snow.
• Solar power, abundant waters, and pastures.
• Established roads and irrigation. 
• 2 aces garden and barn space, currently under development and growing food.
• Healthy, quiet forests and an abundance of animals.
• One of the several remaining properties in the state with water and mineral rights.
  

Zoe Raven founded Giving to Change in 2022 and months later came across this land with Jose Ajpu Munoz. Since then, she has been dedicated to helping cultivate a thriving and lasting community at Hummingbird Sky Island.

Jose Ajpu Munoz is a Mayan spiritual guide, mathematician, metaphysician and social organizer who is in deep service to the land. Jose is passionate about restoring the water systems at Hummingbird Sky Island.

With a passion for village-creation and systems-design, Julia offers and shares her leadership and technical skills in the forms of research, pitch-deck creation, marketing, community outreach, and  grant writing. She is a student and lover of herbalism with a drive to restore food forests to include the native plants to this region.
