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 your county Farm Bureau makes a charitable hunger-relief contribution in your community, the donation could be eligible for matching funds from the ACF.
2026 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. Applications must be initiated by a county Farm Bureau Administrative Manager or county Farm Bureau leadership.
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.
Applications must be initiated by county Farm Bureau County Administrative Managers or county Farm Bureau leadership. Counties who wish to apply for a donation match must:
