The Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems Funders (SAFSF) is a project of Community Partners. SAFSF was formed in 1991 by funders with a shared interest in economically viable, environmentally sound and socially responsible systems of food production, processing, distribution and consumption. Originally named the Sustainable Agriculture Grantmakers, SAFSF functioned as a working group of the Environmental Grantmakers Association from 1991 until October 2005 (www.ega.org). SAFSF became a project of Community Partners (www.communitypartners.org) as of November 1, 2005.

SAFSF is a national working group of grant-makers that seeks to promote a more sustainable agriculture and food system. We do this primarily by fostering communication, engaging in shared learning and exchanging information about issues connected to sustainable agriculture and food systems. SAFSF seeks to carry out its mission by providing opportunities for collaboration, increasing awareness of the issues as well as funding needs, and expanding beyond the current membership to increase support and funding for organizations that (i) promote sustainable food production; (ii) link to concerns about sustainability of our food system; and/or (iii) connect food production with issues of environmental stewardship, diet and health, and viability of communities.
