To Access Support
Many growing projects receive donated inputs or services.
From time to time, Canadian Foodgrains Bank head office receives offers of donated inputs or services. When these offers are accepted, we provide our regional coordinators and local growing project coordinators with information on the offer and how to take advantage of it.
Local growing projects often receive support from local suppliers. These donations are arranged between the growing project and the supplier and may include anything from donated to fuel, seed and equipment to coffee and sandwiches for harvest celebrations.
Contact your regional coordinator for further information on this year's programs, sample letters, or certificates of appreciation.
Corporate Donors
Community growing projects are volunteer run and donations are usually acknowledged locally. If you would like more information please contact our office .
