Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund
The application deadline is February 17, 2026.
The Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund is a competitive small grant program administered by the Farmer Veteran Coalition that provides direct assistance to veterans who are in their beginning years of farming or ranching. Awards range from $1,000 to $5,000 to purchase equipment or supplies that will support your farm business. The Fellowship Fund does not give money directly to the veteran, but rather to third-party vendors for items the veteran has identified will make a crucial difference in the launch of their farm business.
