Your $25 donation will be allocated in full to our Micro-Grant Fund. You will receive a tax deduction receipt via email within 30 days of completing your contribution.  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 launched our annual Micro-Grant Program to farmers, ranchers, fisheries, and aquaculture purveyors. We’ve distributed 17 grants as of December 2024, which translates to more than $50,000 in contributed funds over three years. In 2025, we aim to distribute six to eight grants from $1,000 to $5,000 to eligible applicants; $30,000 will be allotted for this year’s Micro-Grant Program, an increase from $23,500 in 2024.
