Over $122,000 in funding available for projects that support agricultural innovation in Abbotsford.

The Abbotsford Community Foundation (ACF) is pleased to announce that applications for the 2023 Agricultural Enhancement Grants Program are now open to any organization, individual or group whose project fits the grant criteria and is acceptable as an applicant to the ACF Agricultural Grants Committee.

These are matching grants provided through an endowment established by the City of Abbotsford to ensure the long-term sustainability of the local agricultural sector, in all its forms.

In 2023, the granting criteria will focus on projects that support agricultural innovation that directly benefits Abbotsford, specifically as it relates to:

• product development

• value added agriculture innovation

• solutions for product-to-market supply chains

• entrepreneurial farm practices to enhance market growth

• diversification of farming operations and/or regulatory compliances

• Agri Tourism education/farm to table initiatives

• climate change adaptation or mitigation

“Individual matching grants are available for up to $50,000 in project funding”, says Marcus Janzen, Board Chair and Chair of the ACF Agricultural Enhancement Grants Committee. “We’re looking for projects that will have positive economic, social and/or environmental outcomes as a direct result of receiving this funding. With the catastrophic climate events we’ve experienced locally, projects that factor in climate adaptation or mitigation are of particular interest.”

“We are pleased to have distributed more than $1,000,000 in grants to benefit agriculture in Abbotsford since 2013,” said, Areni Kelleppan, ACF Executive Director. “ACF is proud to be able to partner with the City of Abbotsford to support this valuable economic sector and to continue to invest in local initiatives that will benefit our community now and for generations to come.”

Applicants may visit the grants section of the Abbotsford Community Foundation website at www.abbotsfordcf.org to review the program guidelines, which involves a 2-step granting process. The first step requires the submission of a Letter of Intent which is accepted until April 6th. Letters of Intent are reviewed once received and full grant applications are sent via email for those projects deemed eligible for grant consideration. Completed applications are due on April 21st.

For more information on the Agricultural Enhancement Grants Program, please contact Areni Kelleppan, Executive Director via email at arenik@abbotsfordcf.org or phone 604-850-3755.
