BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada (BASF) announces that 12 organizations will each receive a portion of the $160,000 Growing Home with BASF prize fund. Following a competitive public voting period, the first-, second-, and third-place winners have been determined for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.
“The enthusiasm and participation we have seen in recent years demonstrates how truly important organizations like these are to their communities,” said Leta LaRush, vice president of BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada. “This year, we expanded our prize fund from $100,000 to $160,000 to recognize each of the finalists, not just the winning organizations, as they are all strong pillars within their communities. It’s about celebrating these organizations and contributing to their continued impact in strengthening the communities they serve.”
While the two-week public voting period determined the distribution of the awards amongst the finalists, all 12 organizations will receive support in recognition of their positive contributions to their communities.
Organizations that finished in first place will receive a $25,000 donation and have the opportunity to celebrate their win with the local community; second place will receive $10,000 and third place will receive $5,000.
