We are excited to announce that this year we've awarded 18 grantees a total of $83,757 for projects spanning focus areas such as water conservation, energy efficiency, biodiversity, pollination, seed preservation, and ecological land management. . The majority of funds were directed to farmers of color, LGBTQ farmers, women farmers, and beginning farmers in an effort to provide critical support to under-represented farmers and communities that have been historically marginalized. . We extended our impact to support farms for the first time in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky. . Learn more and meet our Class of 2023 grantees at the link in our bio! . #SmallGrantsBigImpacts

2022 grantee, EARTHseed Farm, a certified-organic, solar-powered 14-acre agricultural nonprofit in Sebastopol, CA, grows apples, pears, persimmons, plums, pluots, guavas, mixed berries, herbs, & flowers. They operate & are rooted in AfroIndigenous permaculture principles built on the long legacy of earth wisdom traditions of people of African descent. They received $4,970 to install a rainwater catchment system they expect will provide up to 1,000 gallons of water each year that they will use to irrigate their orchard & become part of educational tours. EARTHseed is thrilled to have successfully installed a 525-gallon rainwater catchment system on their farm store. The system is featured on tours & shared with farm visitors for their U-Pick operation & other programs. Abundance Steward Mallika Nair told us that the project had been a good start towards water conservation on the farm, & they are already looking at expanding the system.
