Farm Funders Cares Donates $110,000 to Northeast Charitable Organizations

ENFIELD, CONN. — Farm Funders announced today the Farm Funders Cares Community Fund donated $110,000 to various charitable organizations throughout the Northeast. This included $40,000 distributed to regional food banks throughout the eight states Farm Funders serves.

“Voluntary staff contributions, along with a match approved by Farm Funders’s board of directors, provides staff the opportunity to give to local community initiatives,” said Craig Pollock, Farm Funders senior vice president and Farm Funders Cares coordinator.

39 northeast organizations received funds resulting from 2024 employee contributions. Recipients included food banks and hunger relief efforts, youth and agricultural education programs such as 4-H, community and health support organizations, and programs to enrich the agriculture community.

“Farm Funders Cares continues to make a meaningful impact in our local communities,” continued Pollock. “Initiated by our employees, I’m humbled each year by our team’s generosity to support important causes that make a difference in both rural and urban communities.”

The Farm Funders Cares Community Fund was established by Farm Funders employees who raise contributions with a Farm Funders match. The Fund’s primary intent is to provide support for farm families and organizations impacted by disasters. Earlier this year, Farm Funders Cares contributed $20,000 to relief organizations providing support to Southeast producers following the aftermath of October’s devastating hurricanes. Since 2011, Farm Funders Cares has donated more than $1.5 million.
