Crossroads Farm Matching Challenge Grant: Make Twice the Impact!

We are a 3rd of the way there, but we really need your help! Every dollar raised by our local community will be matched by our anonymous donor – up to $35,000!!! We would love to take full advantage of this potential donation.

Please consider making a year-end, tax deductible donation to help keep our local Crossroads Farm alive and available for all to enjoy. This challenge grant is a wonderful, limited-time offer to double the impact of your donation.

We greatly appreciate our friends who have helped support the farm through volunteerism, donations and simply by being a regular patron of the Farm. Every little bit helps us keep the Farm open and operational for our local community to continue to enjoy.

Thank you for your consideration. We wish you a very happy and healthy holiday season!

We Need Your Help: Crossroads Farm’s Challenge Grant Ends December 31, 2017!

We need your support today to operate Crossroads Farm tomorrow!

Crossroads Farm is very fortunate to have been offered a $35,000 challenge grant from an anonymous donor. It must be matched by 12/31/2017. In other words, every dollar you donate to this effort will be matched dollar for dollar up to $35,000 – whatever you give will be doubled. Anything we raise above our $70,000 goal will be dedicated to our 2018 operating budget.

We receive no public funding and depend on private contributions to meet the farm’s $300,000 annual operating budget. Having raised about $230,000 to date, we need your help to raise the $70,000 balance.
