The California Family Farmer Emergency Fund will directly support California family farmers to help ensure they make it through this crisis.
Donor Name: Community Alliance with Family Farmers
State: California
County: Selected Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 08/15/2022
Details:
This current round of funding is possible through a grant from the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.
Eligibility Criteria
- Family farmers who are actively working the land, derive a significant portion of their income from their own farm business, and are involved in the day-to-day operations of the farm
- Farmers whose operations make a minimum of $10,000 and a maximum of $400,000 in gross sales annually.
- If you are a new farmer, or have another limitation, and cannot claim at least $10K in farm-based income, please include in your application a rationale for consideration.
- Because of systems of historic oppression, the most vulnerable populations will bear the brunt of the impact of this crisis. For this reason, we will prioritize awards to farmers of color, immigrant farmers, and undocumented farmers.
- Awards are restricted to the 18 counties in California that were hit hardest during the 2020 Wildfire season. Applicants can have experienced impacts anytime between 2020 and present day.
