Here is today’s featured foundation.

Farm Aid

Website: https://www.farmaid.org/

Mission & Purpose: To build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America. (Known for its annual concert).

Broad Funding Guidelines: Farm Aid's grants are different from most foundations. They do not have an open cycle for nonprofits. Instead, their funding is directed in two ways: (1) Strategic grants to farm/food advocacy organizations, and (2) Direct emergency grants to family farmers in crisis.

Featured Opportunity: The Farmer Hotline (1-800-FARM-AID) and the associated Family Farm Disaster Fund. This program provides direct, modest emergency grants (e.g., $500) to family farmers who are facing a financial, weather, or medical crisis.

Recommendation: Individual family farmers (not nonprofits) in the U.S. who are facing a sudden financial crisis (e.g., due to drought, flood, or medical emergency) and need immediate, modest financial assistance.
