Look what we've done so far.
What started with six small grants in 2022 has grown into a national Movement of farmers and the people who believe in them. Today, we are in 48 states and Puerto Rico.
Together, we're turning recognition into action, generosity into opportunity, and relatively small investments into meaningful change on farms across the country.
And we're just getting started.
Our reach is national.
From our first six grants in 2022, For Farmers Movement has grown to reach farmers in 48 states and Puerto Rico. Each year we receive nominations and grant applications from all 50 states. And it's more than just grants. We are connected, active, and creating new ways to support and knit our Movement together.
Across the country, thousands of farmers, nominators, donors, and volunteers are coming together to recognize, celebrate, and support the people who grow our food.
What began as a simple idea has become a nationwide network of farmers and people who believe that farmers matter, and are taking action to do something about it.
Our impact is personal.
Across the country, our grants are helping farmers solve problems, save time, reduce losses, improve safety, and invest in the future of their farms.
And the impact doesn't end when the grant is spent.
At Working Dog Farms in New Jersey, a $500 tractor attachment solved a frustrating problem, relieved a sense of despair, and became a tool the farmers now use every day.
In Michigan, a farmer received a $500 grant for high tunnel irrigation in 2023. Three years later, that irrigation system is still working every day.
Even our smallest grants have an outsized impact. They're investments that keep working, season after season.
Multiply that across hundreds of farms, and you begin to understand what the personal impact of a national Movement really looks like.
