This year, the National Young Farmers Coalition is partnering with Chipotle on a new Young Farmer Grant Program. We are offering $5,000 grants to 50 young farmers and ranchers across the country to support everyday needs from infrastructure projects, operating costs, and professional development, to off-farm expenses like childcare, housing, and student loan debt.
These grants are available to farmers of all races and gender identities. To ensure that our grants are contributing to ending inequity in access to agricultural careers, we commit to providing a minimum of 50% of our grants to Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, and 50% of grants to female-identifying, non-binary, and trans farmers.
