History of the Cultivators Fund

Through our work as farmers, knowledge holders, community connectors, we are helping heal climate change and food apartheid.

When we have emergent needs in our work, we need quick & accessible support.

This fund began in 2022 as a way to help support our farmers with critical, early season investments each year. In 2023 MFCC gave out 19 mini grants, contributing to things like soil improvements, fencing, value added product development, seed purchasing and more. Since the creation of the Cultivator's Fund, we have continued to spread the word, increase funding, and provide critical support to Farmers of Color across the Midwest.
