Great news for farmers and agricultural nonprofits: The FruitGuys Community Fund’s 2026 grant applications are opening soon! We’ll offer grants of up to $5,000 for small farms and agricultural nonprofits working on projects that advance sustainable and equitable food systems. In 2025, we awarded $90,000 in grants to 21 grantees across the country.
Special Funds for Agricultural Nonprofits Led by Underrepresented Communities
We’re thrilled to announce that, thanks to the ongoing support of the Aramark Charitable Fund, a total of $45,000 in grants will be awarded specifically to agricultural nonprofits led by farmers from underrepresented communities in 2026. These resources will help them grow and access sustainable farming opportunities.
Since 2022, Aramark has partnered with us to support farms and organizations that work with underrepresented farmers and communities, expanding access to vital resources. We’re grateful for their support!
To be eligible for this bucket of funding, applicants must provide their current 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status and board of directors list as part of the application process.
