Collihort FoundationAbout the Foundation
Collihort Foundation, Inc. exists to raise awareness of community gardens, keep organizational software free, support localized education, and — later — help gardens that need a fiscal sponsor. This site is for introductions. It is not a donation page and not a sponsorship portal.
Legal status
Collihort Foundation, Inc. is a Florida not-for-profit corporation being organized to raise awareness of community gardens, provide free organizational software, support education (including school visits and field trips), coordinate with existing gardens, and — when the legal work is in place — act as a fiscal sponsor. We are not representing that the IRS has recognized us as a 501(c)(3) public charity. We are not soliciting tax-deductible gifts, and we are not offering fiscal sponsorship, until that work is complete.
Board
David Ashworth
Founder
David Ashworth is founder and board president of Collihort Foundation, Inc. He previously founded Bindaas Social Ventures, a 501(c)(3) that used technology and job-readiness programs to expand opportunity in Kibera, working in the impact-sourcing field alongside organizations such as Samasource. He has implemented Salesforce for nonprofits and spent his career helping organizations adopt shared software they could not build alone. He lives in St. Augustine, Florida, and built Collihort so community gardens can run plots, chores, and books without a software budget.

More board members will be added in 2027.
Garden clubs run themselves. The Foundation does not operate Palencia Collaborative Garden Club or any other neighborhood site. Software for those clubs lives at collihort.com.
