Microgrants for Local BIPOC Farmers
Tax deductible
Recognizing the importance of small farms in our community, Slow Food St. Louis has made the Small Farm Biodiversity Microgrant Program a priority. Since 2009 we have awarded more than $82,000 to over 75 farmers, supporting the cultivation of numerous heirloom varieties and heritage breeds.
We are excited to announce that this year, in order to show our solidarity with our richly diverse farming community, we will focus our grants on BIPOC (Black Indigenous People Of Color) farmers. In the past our fundraising events throughout the year funded these grants, allowing us to offer a grant pool from $5,000 - $8,000.
This year Slow Food STL was unable to host any fundraising events due to the pandemic so we encourage you to help us keep this unique grant opportunity going by making a contribution. 100% of donations raised will stay in our community, helping local farmers produce sustainably-grown food we value.
Any donation-no matter how big or small-will help support and strengthen your local BIPOC farming community. We have set our goal at $5,000 but please help us exceed this goal to fund even more farmers!
