Fundraise for Farm to School
Share your passion, support the movement
With the Fundraise for Farm to School program, you can help us grow farm to school in the communities of greatest need. It’s easy: you share your passion for farm to school with friends, colleagues, community and social group members, neighbors and family, and you invite them to chip in to make sure that kids, farmers and communities can experience the triple win of farm to school! All money raised benefits the Seed Change Venture Fund, which powers NFSN’s ambitious growth plans for farm to school.
Remember, if many do a little, it adds up to a lot. Imagine it this way:
- You decide to donate your birthday, so you ask friends for donations to NFSN in instead of presents, cake or flowers.
- 10 people you know give $10 each for your donated birthday. That adds up to $100.
- 99 other NFSN supporters do the same thing. That adds up to $10,000 for farm to school.
- $10,000 helps NFSN build capacity, advocate and connect key stakeholders in the farm to school movement so that thousands more kids can have healthy, local meals at school. It also benefits local farmers’ economic opportunities and strengthens local economies.
