3) Farm Foundation Issues  - New Funding Guidelines

OAK BROOK, IL Oct. 8, 2009:   Farm Foundation, NFP, a section 501(c)(3) public charity, has issued new policies and guidelines for funding small grants.
 
Farm Foundation seeks proposals for small grants that stimulate new ideas and build networks of resources for agriculture, the food system and rural regions.  The maximum grant award is $10,000.  Grant proposals should address one of the Foundation's six program areas:
·        Energy and agriculture
·        Food, agricultural and trade policy
·        Agricultural and food system productivity, research and technology
·        Agriculture in the environment
·        Food quality, safety and consumer perception
·        Viability of rural regions
 
In implementing a new strategic plan, Farm Foundation, NFP has realigned its program work into two categories-small grants and focused, staff-managed programs.  "This realignment is designed to focus program resources to maximize impacts, while making the most effective use of our financial and human resources," explained Farm Foundation President Neil Conklin.
 
Farm Foundation, NFP, works as a catalyst for sound public policy by providing objective information to foster a deeper understanding of issues shaping the future for agriculture, food systems and rural regions.  Farm Foundation's primary product is comprehensive, objective information on economic and public policy issues impacting agriculture, the food system and rural regions.  Conferences, workshops and Foundation Forums are among the vehicles Foundation uses to bring stakeholders together to discuss evolving issues and options to address those issues.
