2018 Annual Fundraising Campaign

  
      
 


Our 2018 Annual Fund Campaign is Underway!

 

We are kicking off our Annual Fund Raising Campaign in preparation of the 2019 farming season.

Great News! We have found donors who are willing to match dollar for dollar any donation given up to $50,000. If you give $25.00, it ends up being $50.00! Help us take advantage of this opportunity by donating during this campaign.

Can you help now?  Every gift helps, no matter how large or small.  Click a button below to make a tax-deductible donation. Your donation will be doubled!

          

If we get $50,000 in donations we will have $100,000 to start with in our 2019 growing season!

The farm closes during the winter months, so its important to have funds in place to start up again in the spring. We need to provide salaries, purchase seed and field supplies, and cover overhead costs. 

The farm had good success this year. We’re on the right track! We’ve impacted the community with healthy food, educational experiences and outdoor events. 

Please consider making a year-end, tax deductible donation to help keep our local Crossroads Farm alive and available for all to enjoy. This campaign is a wonderful way 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.

 

Thanks from all your Friends at Crossroads Farm!
