FACT’s 2025 Fund-a-Farmer Recipients are ANNOUNCED!
We will begin accepting applications for our
2026 Grants in November, 2025.
Since 2012 FACT has awarded 764 grants to farmers totaling around $1,580,000 to improve farm animal welfare, expand humane farming, and support capital and operational work.
Our 2025 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 2025’s funded projects were made possible by the generous donations from our fantastic FACT community. Learn more about this year’s Fund-a-Farmer cohort HERE.
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.
