The 2024 grants cycle is no longer accepting applications for this year's funding cycle. Committee reviews will be ongoing through the end of this year. Successful applicants will be notified beginning in June 2024.
Sky High Farm Grants was established in 2022 as an annual program of micro-grants. The program is committed to building equity in our extended agricultural circle by supporting a range of projects helmed by farmers and food justice advocates whose work is rooted in their communities and our shared values.
Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, migrant, refugee and other groups excluded from traditional funding opportunities experience profound barriers in access to land, acquiring essential farming tools and equipment, experiential and formal education around sustainable farming practices, and wages from farming that support stable housing and basic human needs. Through Sky High Grants, we partner annually with a committee of advisors to identify burgeoning farmers to receive funding that supports their mission-aligned work. This committee comprises individuals from the target audience of our grant program, intentionally reflecting the leadership of Black and POC farmers and land stewards.
