Tier Four - Gifts with Donation
Your $100 donation will go directly into our Micro-Grant Fund. You will receive a tax deduction receipt via email within 30 days of completing your contribution. With your $100 donation, you will receive a PCF-branded Nalgene 16 oz. water bottle and a set of four Market Cards by Maria Schoettler (5 x 7" flat cards, blank on the back with vellum envelopes; designed and printed on beautiful felt card stock in San Francisco).
Pine Cone Foundation micro-grants are designed to provide a financial boost to those looking to build long-term careers in agriculture, ranching, aquaculture, and fishing enterprises. Grant funding may support completing a project, purchasing a new piece of equipment, and improving infrastructure.
In 2022, we bestowed grants to three fantastic applicants ranging from $1,500 to $3,500, and in 2023 we will be offering five to six grants (winners will be announced during the December 4th week).
These grants are available to farmers, ranchers, artisanal fisheries, and aquaculture purveyors of all races and gender identities. To ensure that our grants are contributing to ending systemic inequity in access to these careers, we commit to providing a minimum of 50% of our grants to Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, and 50% of grants to female-identifying, non-binary, and trans farmers.
