Agent Charitable Fund Donation Match Program
The Agent Charitable Fund (ACF) is excited to support county Farm Bureaus and Farm Bureau Insurance (FBI) agents as they fight food insecurity in their communities. If you make a charitable hunger-relief contribution in your community, your donation can be matched by ACF! Please scroll down to learn more.
Double-Up Donation Program
The Agent Charitable Fund supports county Farm Bureaus’ efforts to end hunger in their communities by providing matching funds to local organizations and programs which represent the ACF mission. Donation matches up to $2,500 per county will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis with an approval process.
Examples of matchable programs include the following -
Your county makes a monetary donation to a local nonprofit or school district for the purpose of purchasing food for a hunger-relief program or project.
Your county facilitates and leads a local hunger-relief project (ex - a community Thanksgiving meal)
Your county purchases protein or produce and donates those items in-kind to a food pantry or school.
Hot tip - many counties will facilitate Harvest for All fundraising events to raise funds for a donation or project above. Examples of fundraising events include cornhole tournaments, softball tournaments and collecting funds during your county annual meeting.
County Farm Bureaus wishing to apply for a matching donation must:
Review the 2024 Double-Up Donation Program Guidelines to ensure your nominated organization or project is eligible to receive a grant.
Submit an application below. Please include the amount your county is pledging to donate, how the donation funds will be used, and a plan for engaging your local Farm Bureau Insurance agents.
Once approved, please donate to the awarded organization for twice the approved amount (ex - if you pledge to donate $1,000 and are approved for a $1,000 match, please donate $2,000 in total).
Once the donation has been made, please provide a receipt to the Agent Charitable Fund, and a reimbursement check for ACF’s donation match will be sent to the county.
