Land Betterment Corporation Begins Crowdfunding Round to Raise Funds for Sustainable Businesses

FISHERS, Ind., April 29, 2020 /3LMedia/ - Land Betterment Corporation (“Land Betterment” or the “Company”), an environmental solutions company fostering positive impact through upcycling former coal mining sites to create sustainable community development and job creation, is proud to announce it is now seeking funds through its crowdfunding campaign on Fundopolis, the equity crowdfunding company focused on Main Street. Individuals are now able to invest in Land Betterment Corporation and help support its mission by visiting Land Betterment's raise on Fundopolis.com.

With its thirteen years of operating experience, the Land Betterment management team has developed a complete solutions-based lifecycle program to rehabilitate the environment of former, un-reclaimed and neglected coal mining sites throughout the Central Appalachia and Southern Indiana regions, then repurpose the land to support sustainable businesses that serve the local community and a displaced, skilled labor force.  Central Appalachia has become a major impact region as the United States increasingly transitions away from coal-based fuels. As a result, the landscape remains littered with an enormous number of environmental liabilities, and communities disproportionately suffer from a lack of job and economic opportunity.

All capital raised under Fundopolis’ crowdfunding platform, combined with federal, state and local government programs, will support the growth of the Company’s highly scalable corporate pillars:

1. Environmental Solutions Division which generates service revenue from cleaning up disturbed land and eliminating environmental liabilities facing mining companies, reclamation surety companies, and state and federal agencies; and
    
2. Sustainable Development Division which generates product revenue and employment opportunities from sustainable businesses cultivated on the upcycled land.  Current business lines producing or in development include:
    
   • Betterment Recycled Mulch – a rubber recycling company that primarily utilizes tires from mining and industrial activities to create high-quality, sustainable ground cover.
      
   • Betterment Spirits – through its COAL Craft Spirits brand, is a small batch, organic, farm-to-bottle craft distillery focused on environmental stewardship, quality and perfectionism.
      
   • Ekō – an ecological affordable development company using innovative solutions to upcycle land for the community through modern, energy-efficient modular homes.
      
   • Betterment Metal Recovery – a metal recovery and recycling company of prior mining and industrial sites to be recycled for new and useful purposes.
      
   • Betterment Harvest – a sustainable farming company that upcycles land to provide the highest quality of agriculture.
      
   • Pollinate – are bee farms and processing facilities established on protected sites upcycled from former mining areas to work synergistically with the Company’s Environmental Solutions and Betterment Harvest efforts.

“Offering our initial growth capital raise to “Main Street” through a crowdfunding platform such as Fundopolis, holds true to what Land Betterment  is all about,” stated Mark Jensen, Executive Chairman of Land Betterment Corporation.  “Being a community-based company, it is important for us to create this initial opportunity to take ownership in creating change in areas in need of real solutions due to the decline of thermal coal.  We are honored to stand side-by-side with those who share our passion and vision of efficiently advancing improvements to the environment and local communities.”
