History
History
AIPL started in 2008 when a small faith-based group attended a conference on "Caring for Creation." Soon after, interest groups formed to discuss topics on sustainability, conservation concerns, and related scriptures. An organization was formed with a volunteer Board of Directors, a nonprofit designation in 2009, and a budget of zero. Since then, AIPL has earned two grants from EPA, three grants from USDA, and a multiple of grants from local, state, national, and international levels. AIPL is grateful for the numerous individual donors who continue to make our work possible in Central Arkansas. Between 2023 and 2026, AIPL supported 67 gardens of various sizes in Faulkner County and Pulaski County. AiPL is hoping to expand its efforts into Jefferson County in the near future. AIPL has no office, preferring to serve the community by engaging weekly in the community. AIPL maintains an extremely lean budget with part-time staff, part-time interns, volunteers, and practically no overhead.
