Moore Heritage Projects Corporation · 501(c)(3) Public Charity
We empower Black Americans by fostering a profound connection with their heritage as producers and distributors of food — celebrating and amplifying the historical significance of Black contributions to agriculture.
"To improve lives in our community through knowledge gained from the exploration of the intersection of family history and agriculture."Read our mission
Moore Heritage Projects Corporation is organized around four working divisions — each one named for what it means to carry heritage forward: as inheritance, birthright, legacy, and endowment.
Inheritance
Cultivating Indianapolis growing lots using traditional agricultural knowledge — from seed to Farm Stand to local markets.
Learn more →Birthright
Digitizing family and community archives — from the Edwards-Moore Family Archive to the Crispus Attucks Archive.
Learn more →Legacy
Preserving historic sites and community memory, including cemetery preservation, reunions, and food & nutrition programs.
Learn more →Endowment
Tracking our impact with the same rigor we bring to the land — every hour, grant, and outcome documented and accountable.
Learn more →Our family has long held a deep interest in the production and distribution of food. That legacy predates our founding — it lives in the Edwards-Moore Family Archive, in land records, in the hands that worked the earth long before we had words for what they were building.
We believe in the power of connecting the past with the present. The rich history documented in our archives echoes our continued commitment to food sovereignty and community self-determination.
