HumanLinks Foundation, a WA state non-profit, was established to promote sustainable agricultural practices. The Foundation is funding two new programs that will provide immediate financial support to local farmers. the first will offer grants to flood victims, the second will focus on micro-loan assistance to sustainable farmers in need. Criteria:
1) Must be organic and/or sustainable farmers;
2) Immediate needs for infrastructure and equipment losses
3) Can $2,500-$5,000 make a difference in your operation right now?

They would like to implement these programs as soon as possible, and will be accepting applications through March 9th for those who want to participate in the first phase. They plan to distribute the funds in two phases. Please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for an application.
