Brighter Future Fund National Grant for Historically Underserved Farmers and Ranchers

Brighter Future Fund National Grant for Historically Underserved Farmers and Ranchers is sponsored by American Farmland Trust. Assists beginning, socially disadvantaged, limited resource, women, and veteran farmers and ranchers in launching and sustaining their farms.

Brighter Future Fund · American Farmland Trust Our nation’s farmers and ranchers work hard and face daily obstacles related to weather, changing economic forces, and the rising costs of land and inputs. AFT makes grants to farmers and ranchers to advance our mission to protect farmland, promote sound farming practices, and keep farmers on the land.

We take extra care to make our application processes straightforward and accessible so that our grants can have a significant impact on a farm’s business and future.

AFT’s grants help drive new solutions for resolving key challenges facing our society by increasing the resilience of farms to climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening local food systems, creating greater equity in opportunities for underserved farmers, ensuring the availability of sufficient clean water and habitat for threatened wildlife, and improving farm viability and community vitality.
