Farm Aid grant program

Farm Aid

NontraditionalFoundation grant

Grants to organizations serving family farmers, explicitly including farm advocates, legal support, mental health services, hotlines, and emergency assistance — a rare direct source for rural agricultural behavioural health work.

Indicative award
$5k–$10k (total award)The page states grants "average between $5,000 and $10,000, with some higher amounts awarded to organizations working on larger scale issues." This is an average range, not a published ceiling.
Timing
By invitationBy invitation · Nov, DecNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.Invited organizations typically receive applications in summer; funds are usually awarded near the end of the calendar year (November-December), with a final report due the following February.
Who can apply
Community organisation, Practitioner
Eligibility
IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organizations only; individual farmers cannot receive grants for farm operations. End-of-year grantmaking is by invitation only, so an existing relationship with Farm Aid is the practical gate.
