UFA Foundation is accepting applications for its 2025 Rural Communities Grant Program
The UFA Agricultural Community Foundation has opened applications for its second annual Rural Communities (RC) Grant Program. This initiative continues the Foundation’s goal of supporting rural communities through funding projects that promote education, recreation, and culture.
Charitable groups, non-profit organizations, and community-focused co-operatives are invited to apply for grants ranging from $10,000 to $40,000. The grants are intended to fund capital projects that help enrich rural life and strengthen the agricultural community. In total, $100,000 in funding will be distributed in 2025.
"The UFA Agricultural Community Foundation was built on the fundamental belief that we are stronger when we work together. Through the Rural Communities Grant Program, the UFA Foundation is investing in the agricultural community by supporting rural capital projects that will be most impactful to its members,” said Kimberly MacDonald, UFA Manager, Community Investment.
"The Rural Communities Grant Program enables the UFA Agricultural Community Foundation to dedicate funding to build and improve facilities that are integral to rural life in the agricultural community. We are not just investing in capital projects. We are investing in a legacy of growth and opportunity in the agricultural community for generations to come," said Kevin Hoppins, UFA Foundation Advisory Board Chair.
