Supporting Arizona's Next Generation of Farmers.
Seeds to Grow is an annual funding opportunity made available through Pinnacle Prevention that aims to support Arizona’s next generation of farmers. Farming is hard and sometimes just having access to the right infrastructure and tools can make a world of difference for scaling and expanding food production. Through Seeds to Grow we hope to address some of the barriers identified from Arizona’s local food producers and continue to foster a more vibrant, sustainable, and equitable food system for Arizona.
Available funding:
Pinnacle Prevention is pleased to make available one-time infrastructure and equipment grants of up to $12,000 to Arizona-based farmers and ranchers who identify as new and beginning, limited resource, and Black, Hispanic/Latin@, Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders, and other Producers of Color.
Who’s eligible to apply:
Food-producing farmers, ranchers, and cooperatives who are residents or whose farms are located in Arizona and any of the 22 Arizona tribal communities are invited to apply. Your farm does not need to be a registered business and cooperatives do not need to be official or legal coops to apply. Informal groups of food-producing farmers/ranchers working together are welcome to apply. Priority is considered for new and beginning, limited resource, and Black, Hispanic/Latin@, Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders, and other Producers of Color.
What’s eligible to be funded:
For the purpose of this funding opportunity, infrastructure and equipment may include items such as high tunnels and greenhouses or hoop houses; solar pump systems; walk behind tractors and attachments; food safety equipment such as sinks and wash stations; seeders; produce boxes and totes and containers; scales; water catchment or collection systems; or cold storage. This funding is not intended to support farm labor or personnel; however, funds may be dedicated to installation costs associated with the infrastructure purchase or implementation.
