What we do:

SAFSF seeks to highlight these issues and to carry out its mission by working with its members and others to strengthen and diversify the sustainable agriculture and food systems grantmaking community, provide new and expanded programming, and to keep funders well-versed in the critical issues of the day. SAFSF also works to help 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 rural communities.

On-going SAFSF activities include regular funder education conference calls, an annual 2-3 day national Forum, workshops and sessions at various funder conferences including the Environmental Grantmakers Association annual retreat, The Funders' Network on Smart Growth and Livable Communities and others.
