CoFUND: A Regranting Fund

We are excited to open our next round of CoFUND, our regranting program, aimed to support and build the collective resilience of food and land-justice based cooperatives.

The purpose of this grant is to support co-ops and small farmers in the day-to-day operations to aid in the development of their organization. We encourage legally established cooperatives and other business entities at all stages (from start-up to scale-up) to apply! Please see our eligibility and Frequently Asked Questions for more information. If your questions are not answered there, reach out to grants@cofed.org and we will do our best to respond.

This cycle of funding will focus on projects that center regenerative agriculture, land access/retention and cooperatives working primarily on agricultural related projects. Please be clear about your project goals and timeline for completion.

The grantee will receive $10,000.00. In addition to grant funding, grantees will also have access to 12 months of technical assistance in business management, financial and operational skills, and communications support.

To be eligible to apply for the grant, organizations must:

• Be a legal US based entity or fiscally sponsored by a legal US based entity.
• Submit the complete application (Section 3) by the deadline (March 31, 2025 by 11:59pm PST).
• Applicants must submit a W-9 with their application to be considered for funding. All grants distributed by CoFED will be reported to the Internal Revenue Services, per US reporting requirements.
