Farm Aid
Category: Environment
DescriptionThe Organization, first organized by singer/songwriter Willie Nelson, seeks to build a system of agriculture that values family farmers, good food, soil and water, and strong communities. Grants are awarded in the following categories: Helping Farmers Thrive, Taking Action to Change the System, and Growing the Good Food Movement. Helping Farmers Thrive grants fund organizations providing farmers with the tools and resources they need to get started on the land, access new markets, transition to more sustainable farming practices, produce renewable fuels, and stay on the land in the face of financial crisis and natural disasters. Taking Action grants support organizations that promote fair farm policies and grassroots organizing campaigns aimed at defending and bolstering family farm agriculture, lifting the voices of family farmers, and promoting their interests on a local, regional, or national level. Growing the Good Food Movement grants support organizations that are creating innovative programs that build local and regional food systems, connect farmers directly to consumers, and/or create new value-added markets for family farmers. The deadline is for letters of inquiry. Additional information can be found on the Web site.
