Friend of a Farmer (FOAF) is a membership community of non-farmers who put real money in real farmers' hands — a $1000 grant every quarter.​

​

It's easy:

  • Join the FOAF community

  • Nominate a farmer for a grant and tell us why

  • You get the chance to be selected to give a $1,000 grant directly to a farmer of your choice

How to become a Friend of a Farmer (FOAF)

1. Join as a member

It's just $25 a quarter and each quarter you have the opportunity to be selected to direct a $1000 grant to a farmer of your choice. 100% of membership fees go directly to farmers via grants.​​

​2. Nominate a farmer for a grant

Know a farmer doing great work? Submit their name. Nominations are open year-round. It takes 5 minutes and means everything to the farmer on the receiving end.

3. Direct a grant to a farmer of your choice

Every quarter we will select one member to direct a grant to a farmer of their choice (see number 2 above) based on their nomination.

Hey Farmers, Sit this one out. Ok?

You already do so much. Even here inside the For Farmers Movement. We see you.

 

You donate. You nominate other farmers. You send postcards with encouragement and gratitude to other farmers. You shop each other's wish lists. You show up in ways most people never see. 

​

Friend of a Farmer is the community that shows up for you.

 

This one's on us. Let us handle it.

Your vote matters.
