NOFA-VT Farmer Resilience Grants - Due March 1st

For the third year running, NOFA-VT has a pool of funds to distribute directly to farmers to fund projects that will improve long-term resilience on farms.

Our definition of “resilience” is framed broadly around the mission of NOFA-VT: to promote organic practices to build an economically viable, ecologically sound, and socially just Vermont agricultural system that benefits all living things. We also invite applicants to share their own interpretation of resilience with us.

Applications are anonymized and reviewed by an independent committee of Vermont farmers and farmworkers. The maximum grant amount is $2,500 per farm, with the ability of multiple farms to collaborate on a proposal (for $2,500 per farm involved). Grant awards are distributed with no need for receipt submission. 

Fill out the short application by March 1st at nofavt.org/resilience.
