Investment Opportunities at Living Tree

Thank you for your interest in exploring partnership with Living Tree Alliance. With great success in the first phase of our strategic plan, the establishment of our non-profit educational organization, we are cultivating a positive reputation in the region and host over 500 people a year for meaningful community programs. Building on this ground, we are now implementing the second stage of our strategic plan, the development of our residential cohousing community, and the building of additional infrastructure to host more people to stay over at our community programs.

We are receiving an increasingly steady stream of inquiries about our housing options. Young adults are looking for a place to rent, new families are seeking to buy a small starter home and empty nesters are seeking to downsize. What they all have in common is the desire to live in a multigenerational setting, close to their neighbors with direct access to farm and forest land.    

Living Tree Alliance is committed to creating a neighborhood where people can be closer to the land, their ancestral stories and each other. In a world that is increasingly seeing investors balance financial returns with social and environmental impacts, we continue to offer investment products that foster the creation of a just and livable future.  Investment into the Living Tree Alliance provides a direct channel to create the conditions for the cohousing community, the farm coop and the nonprofit organization to thrive, effectively increasing the value of your investment in a positive feedback loop.
