Food
Animal Concerns Trust (FACT) is now accepting grant applications from livestock
farmers for its Fund-a-Farmer Project!
The Fund-a-Farmer Project provides grants to qualifying humane farmers
who need assistance in improving the welfare of their farm animals.
Grants of
up to $2,500 will be awarded for projects that:
(1) help farms transition to
pasture-based systems
(2) improve the marketing of their humane products
(3) more generally enrich the conditions in which farm animals are raised.
Working, independent family farmers that raise pigs, broiler chickens, laying
hens, dairy cows and/or beef cattle are eligible to apply for any of the three
types of grants. Projects
involving goats and sheep are only eligible for marketing grants.
Applications must be submitted online or
postmarked by May 1, 2014 for awards made in August 2014. View guidelines and
apply online at http://www.fundafarmer.org.
