Membership Fees
Recommended levels of support are assessed based on total grant making for sustainable agriculture and food system programs and initiatives in the last full fiscal year of each member organization Fees may be paid in annual dues, as an annual grant and/or as special support for particular activities. The intent of such fees is to ensure the commitment of members, provide continuing financial sustainability for SAFSF, encourage greater participation by funders, and to reduce the inefficiencies associated with ad hoc yearly fundraising.
