Each year, the America's Farmers Grow Communities program
partners with local farmers to provide grants to local nonprofits. • Sponsored by the Bayer Fund, the program
provides farmers the opportunity to support and give back to nonprofit
organizations they care about in their local communities by enrolling for a
chance to direct a $2,500 donation to a nonprofit of their choice. • Since
2010, the America's Farmers Grow Communities program has given more than $33
million to over 8,000 nonprofits across rural America.
