American Farmland Trust is proud to announce the national launch of the 2021 Brighter Future Fund. This year, grants of up to $5,000 are available to help farmers 1) Improve farm viability; 2) Access, transfer, or permanently protect farmland; or 3) Adopt regenerative agricultural practices.
In recognition of the need for greater equity and inclusion for all groups who have been, and still are, marginalized, the Brighter Future Fund will focus on providing resources to farmers who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), women, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) during this grant round.
To learn more about the eligibility of applicants and projects, please closely review the grant guidelines. Applications will be reviewed and awarded in the order the applications are received based on eligibility. AFT will continue to receive applications and make awards until available funds are expended.
