Growing Impact Fund
Before You Apply
The Growing Impact Fund supports neighborhood-scale farms and community food projects that create real community benefit, through education, regenerative growing, infrastructure improvements, and other mission-aligned work.
This application should take about 10–15 minutes. If selected, you’ll sign a short grant agreement and receive funding for the project you proposed. To keep the program accountable (and 501(c)(3) compliant), we ask all recipients to:
- Use funds only for the approved project budget
- Keep basic receipts/invoices
- Share a few photos or short video clips so we can celebrate your work and report impact
- Submit a short final summary with simple results (what you did + what changed)
