The Legacy Table Foundation Inc. is a 501(c)(3) public charity rooted in St. Petersburg, Florida — built to help Black families protect their land, their stories, and their future.
With over 20 years of professional leadership experience — including healthcare facility management, community organizing, and business development — Tamika Ngaham founded The Legacy Table Foundation Inc. out of a deeply personal calling.
Having witnessed firsthand how Black families lose land, wealth, and history through systemic gaps in education and access, Tamika built a table where every family could sit, learn, and leave with something to pass down.
"I didn't start a nonprofit. I answered a call that had been placed on my life long before I had the words for it."
— Tamika Ngaham, Founder
We operate with full transparency so that every donor, partner, and family we serve can trust us completely.

Some families lose land through tax sales, missing wills, and knowledge that dies with elders. We exist so that stops.
Preserving Stories. Protecting Land. Building Legacy.
Our founder grew up watching her grandparents tend land in Palatka, Florida. They didn't talk about wealth — they demonstrated it. They grew food. They owned their ground. They passed down something most families never get: a place to return to.
Her father continued that tradition. Before she ever learned about savings accounts or credit scores, she learned how to plant, how to harvest, and how to respect the land beneath her feet. That education — rooted in soil and story — became the foundation for everything Legacy Table does today.
But she also saw the other side. Families who lost land through tax sales. Elders who passed away before anyone wrote down their stories. Heirs who inherited confusion instead of clarity. The Legacy Table Foundation exists because that pattern is not inevitable — it is preventable.
The Big Table is more than a metaphor. It is the organizing principle of everything we do. At our table, there is no income threshold, no education requirement, no zip code that disqualifies you. We believe every family — regardless of where they are starting — deserves access to the knowledge, land, and community that makes legacy possible.
Business credit, estate planning, heirs' property protection, and wealth-building basics.
Land ownership, food growing, farm-based education, and connecting families to the soil.
Brain-healthy nutrition, wellness education, and the connection between land and longevity.
Story preservation, digital memoirs, family history, and passing wisdom to the next generation.
Families lose what they were never taught to keep. We teach families to keep what they build — land, wealth, health, and story.
The Legacy Table Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in St. Petersburg, Florida. We serve families across the Gulf Coast and beyond — connecting them to land, knowledge, and each other.

This is where the program lives. A family land project becoming a farm-based education campus — built by families, for families.
Preserving Stories. Protecting Land. Building Legacy.
Every phase brings more families closer to the land — and to each other.
Clearing, surveying, and preparing the half-acre property in Palatka, Florida. Establishing legal ownership structures to protect the land for generations.
Planting the Brain-Healthy Nutrition Garden — blueberries, blackberries, leafy greens, and brain-healthy and traditional herbs. Raised garden beds named for families and donors. Food that feeds both body and memory.
Building the Wealth Classroom pavilion and the Digital Memoir Pavilion — open-air spaces where families gather to learn, record, and remember.
A wellness showcase connecting land, nutrition, and health. Technology stations for digital storytelling, family history research, and legacy planning.
Legacy doesn't stop at the water's edge. Through our Legacy Land Bridge program, we connect American families to partner land near Yaoundé, Cameroon — creating a living exchange of agricultural knowledge, cultural memory, and cross-continental community.
Families learn that the African diaspora's relationship to land is not broken — it is waiting to be rebuilt. The Legacy Land Bridge is how we begin that rebuilding, one family at a time.
The soil remembers what history tried to erase.
Every contribution is named. Every dollar goes to the land.

No experience required. No income threshold. All are welcome at the table.
Preserving Stories. Protecting Land. Building Legacy.
Free community education — held on the land, built for real life.
Most financial education is designed for people who already have money. Ours is designed for families who are building it. We meet people where they are — with plain language, practical tools, and no judgment.
Every class is free. Every seat matters.
Every elder has a story. We make sure it outlives them.
The Digital Memoir Pavilion is a recording studio without walls — a space where elders, veterans, farmers, and community leaders sit down and tell their stories. We capture those stories in high quality and preserve them permanently.
Veteran interviews are submitted to the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, ensuring that the service and sacrifice of our community members becomes part of the national record.
Their voices are the inheritance.
The campus is a classroom. The land is the teacher.
We bring youth groups, school classes, senior centers, and families out to the Palatka campus for hands-on learning days. Participants plant seeds, tour the gardens, hear stories from elders, and leave with a deeper connection to the land — and to each other.
Some lessons can only be learned with your hands in the soil.

Once a year, we gather the full community — donors, families, volunteers, and partners — for a celebration of what we've built together. A harvest dinner on the land. Stories shared. Seeds planted for the year ahead.

Most people think land ownership is about having a place to grow food or a piece of property to pass down. And it is. But we go deeper than that.
We teach families how legal structures — LLCs, trusts, and estate plans — can help protect land and pass it down intact, so one crisis doesn't undo three generations of work. When land is held in the right structure, with the right paperwork, a family's hardest day doesn't have to become the day they lose everything. And when an elder leaves this earth, the children don't inherit confusion and courtrooms — they inherit clarity.
These are the tools wealthy families have always used. We believe every family deserves to understand them — every race, every background, every generation, every family that has ever worked hard and wondered why the wealth never seemed to stay.
This is why we fight for the land. Not just to grow food from it, but to build the knowledge around it that makes everything else possible.
Own nothing. Control everything. Even on your last day.
I am a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator. I have spent over 20 years watching what happens to families when they have nothing to pass down — no land, no business, no plan. I watched elders leave this earth with wisdom that had nowhere to go. I watched children grow up disconnected from the earth, from their history, from themselves. And I said: not on my watch.
Legacy Table Foundation was born at a real table — the kind where decisions get made, where elders speak and children listen. We named it that on purpose. Because the table is where legacy lives. It's where you learn what your family stands for. It's where you decide what you will not let die.
We are not here to hand anyone a fish. We are here to help families own the pond, build the business around it, and eat well from it for generations. Land. Business. Life. That is the whole system. That is the table.
— Tamika R. Ngaham, LNHA | Founder & President, The Legacy Table Foundation Inc.
Generations of underserved and historically disconnected communities in the South lost land through heirs' property disputes, economic pressure, and systemic neglect. With the land went wealth, food sovereignty, and community identity.
Today, youth are disconnected from the earth. Elders carry knowledge no one has asked for — yet.
Legacy Table Foundation restores the connection — land to family, elder to youth, soil to body. We provide tools, training, and community so that no family has to say goodbye to what their grandparents fought to keep.
We show up where systems have fallen short — with practical guidance and deep cultural care.
Palatka, Florida — 1672 S State Road 19 — Our domestic demonstration farm site on the FL-207 heritage corridor. Aquaponics, hydroponics, and a living closed-loop ecosystem where fish and plants sustain each other naturally — producing food, filtering water, and demonstrating the kind of sustainable agriculture that families can replicate on their own land.
Yaoundé, Cameroon, Africa — Our international demonstration site. Land owned across two continents. Legacy built across generations.
Not because they didn't understand the offer. Because they understood something deeper: that land is not a transaction. It is identity. It is inheritance. It is life itself.
The Legacy Table Foundation takes families back to the soil their ancestors refused to surrender. We journey domestically and internationally to agricultural sites, to living farms, to the land that remembers us — so our children can feel what their great-grandparents knew in their bones.
We travel to reconnect. We return to rebuild. We purchase land to restore what was never meant to be lost.
Every generation deserves a seat at this table. We serve youth ages 5 to 24 and elders ages 60 and above from all backgrounds and all communities. If your family has worked hard and wondered why the wealth never seemed to stay — this table was built for you.
Our 2026 to 2027 program goal is to serve 25 to 50 intergenerational families across our Rooted and Rich seasonal program, Big Table Community Gatherings, and Land Preservation Advisory services. Every family we serve receives personal guidance, not a pamphlet.
Legacy Table Foundation thrives because of people who believe that land, community, and legacy matter. Whether you are a farmer, educator, healthcare professional, or neighbor — there is a role for you here.
Bring your skills to the field — literally. We welcome garden volunteers, mentors, event helpers, and skills-based professionals.
We collaborate with Hope Services, CareerSource Tampa Bay, Publix, The Greenhouse St. Petersburg, and SpaceLab St. Pete to expand workforce access, host workshops, support youth summer employment, and strengthen community impact.
Follow us, share our story, and help connect families who need us. Visibility is a form of generosity.
We partner with Hope Services and CareerSource Tampa Bay to connect trained youth and adults to meaningful employment. We also work with a global remote workforce including team members from the Philippines and Pakistan. Contact us to hire from our network.

Our flagship year-long intergenerational program pairs grandparents and grandchildren together across four seasons — Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Fall Equinox, and Winter Solstice. Participants travel to real working land in Palatka, Florida and Lake Butler, Florida domestically and to Yaoundé, Cameroon internationally. They learn to own land, protect it in a trust, grow food from it, and publish their family story in the annual Legacy Memoir. Every season brings families back to the land and back to each other.
Free community events in South St. Petersburg where families come together around a shared meal to learn about land ownership, generational wealth, and business structure. No experience required. No income threshold. Just a willingness to sit down and learn something different. Priority zip codes: 33705, 33711, and 33712. All are welcome at the table.
Every program participant writes their chapter — their land ownership journey, their business credit story, their vision for the next generation. Those chapters are compiled and published annually. Elders are named as co-founders on every memoir they contribute to. Their story does not disappear when they leave. It grows.
For families sitting on land they are about to give up. Legacy Table Foundation provides free guidance on every option available before a sale — USDA programs, agricultural tax classifications, conservation easements, trust structures, and income-producing strategies that remove the burden without removing the asset. We show up before the land is gone.
Domestic and international travel to agricultural land where families from historically underserved communities are already owning, farming, and building. Participants stand on the land. They touch the soil. They sit with the families who refused to sell. Domestic sites include Palatka, Florida; Lake Butler, Florida; Leesburg, Florida; and Saint Augustine, Florida. International sites include Yaoundé, Cameroon. The inaugural international Land Scouting Expedition to Cameroon is planned for Fall 2027.
Families come to the land and plant together. Each seed is named for an ancestor. New participants are welcomed to the table for the first time.
The longest day of the year. Business credit building and land ownership education are in full session. The land is alive and so is the work.
Families harvest what they planted in spring and eat together at the Big Table. What you planted you now eat. What you built you now hold.
Participants share their Legacy Memoir chapters. The annual memoir is published. Families who completed land purchases are celebrated. Seeds are saved for spring. The cycle begins again.
