Since 2012 FACT has awarded 695 grants to farmers totaling over $1,361,000 to improve farm animal welfare, expand humane farming, and support capital and operational work.
Our 2024 grants to farmers seeking or holding animal welfare certification were generously underwritten by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) with grants to farmers within a 200-mile radius of Chicago graciously funded by Food:Land:Opportunity. The rest of 2024’s funded projects were made possible by the generous support of organizations like ButcherBox and donations from our fantastic FACT community.

Many past grant projects have focused on fencing, watering systems, or mobile animal shelters. Farmers have also completed a variety of unique projects involving constructing cattle scratching stations, planting trees to improve access to shade, and purchasing equipment for fly control.
