2024 Grant Winners
In 2022, we launched our annual Micro-Grant Program to farmers, ranchers and fisheries, as well as aquaculture purveyors, and we’ve distributed 17 grants as of 2024, which translates to more than $50k in contributed funds over three years. PCF experienced a 50% increase in applications last year, 2024 marked the most challenging selection process we’ve yet to experience.
