Northeast SARE Farming Community Grant

Proposals are due by February 23, 2026.
The Northeast SARE Farming Community Grant applies social science research and education projects that strengthen farming and food systems at the community level. This program supports projects that are grounded in community partnerships and informed by the lived experiences of farmers. It encourages collaboration among farmers, service providers, researchers, and nonprofit organizations to co-create solutions that are responsive to local needs and scalable across the region. Projects center farmer leadership and decision-making, and result in meaningful impact in Northeast agricultural communities. Requests typically fall between $50,000 and $250,000.
