CANI is a new organization and we are currently looking for high profile spaces around the local communities, within the state and within the delta, in front of stores etc, that will give us exposure and the ability to show the community what will be taking place, once the program has found a permanent residence and home. If you know of a place that will be ideal for the organization to set up a booth please feel free to contact us at info@caninc.org or call 662-299-3462 or 662-253-5971.

We are developing informative brochures that we can be placed in retail outlets explaining our goals and organizational mission. If you have a retail outlet or know of someone who does and are willing to let CANI place the brochures in their store fronts we would appreciate hearing from you.

     CANI is presently searching for the main land in which to build the information center and general grounds for the botanical gardens, hydroponics center, summer camp programs and historical park and wildlife preservation lands.  CANI hopes to secure at least 40+ acreas, leaving room for expansion.  The Board of Directors will set up any lease agreement between a land owner and CANI, that if at anytime the gardens cease to exist or relocate due to expansion, the land will revert back to the original family that donated it to CANI. We know how valuable and important a families heritage is to their heirs.

    If you have land or know of someone who does and is interested in helping please call the above number or email us. We will greatly appreciate all assistance. There are some great tax incentives available for anyone you feels they are interested in assisting with the land, we will glady connect you with our accountant and lawyer or you may wish to seek the advice of your own attorney and/or accountant and see just how beneficial it would be for your legacy to assist CANI in there mission and goals.

    We need volunteers to assist in booth management to show the general public what CANI consist of and also recruiting new members.

CANI is also searching for land for general gardening usage for the low income and elderly. any size plots will be greatly appreciated. Volunteers to assist in cultivating and harvesting the land and delivering the fresh produce to the recipients are needed as well

We have heard back from the Secretary of States office and we have been approved for charitable solicitations. The Paperwork is on file and is posted on this website for all to see.

CANI is in the process of applying for tax exempt status from the IRS and should receiving their exemption soon BUT until we do all donations are not tax deductible. We apologize for this wait but we are certain the paperwork will be done in a speedy manner.We do thank those who are willing to donate even though we are not fully exempt.YET. It is these individuals and businesses that make the real miracles happen everyday. The founders and board of directors wish to thank them all. Without there help and commitment to a better community CANI would be nothing.
