Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund

/in

Applications are due by February 14, 2025.
The Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund is a small grant program that provides direct assistance to veterans who are in their beginning years of farming or ranching. 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. Awards range from $1,000 to $5,000, and farmer veterans who are selected as Fellowship recipients have six months to use their award for an equipment purchase from an approved vendor.
