Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund
Farmer Veteran Coalition runs an in house small grants program called the Fellowship Fund. The purpose of the Fellowship Fund is to assist veterans beginning a career in food and farming through small grants for education or farming purposes. The Fellowship Fund is also designed to assist veteran farmers with business expansion, through equipment purchase, assistance with certifications, building materials and labor. Grants can be used for training or the purchase of farming materials and equipment depending on the grantor’s stipulation. All veterans are eligible to apply, however there is a focus on those who served post 9-11 and are at the beginning of their farming careers, as well as the disabled veteran population.
