Brighter Future Fund

An American Farmland Trust grant program providing direct support to historically underserved farmers and ranchers across the country.

American Farmland Trust’s Brighter Future Fund provides grants to farmers nationwide, helping them improve farm viability, access, transfer or permanently protect farmland, or adopt regenerative agricultural practices. In 2022, the fund began prioritizing support for farmers who identify as BIPOC, Veterans, LGBTQIA+, and beginning farmers who have historically had limited access to financial resources. Since 2020, AFT, with the support of organizations and individual donors, has awarded approximately $4.8 million in grants directly to more than 2,000 farmers across the nation.

 Every dollar raised goes directly to farmers and ranchers.
