Flood Relief Grants--Applications Open Now!!!
Jessica Gillis
Hello Farmers,
We’ve been working with our partners at the Community Food Co-op and Whatcom Community Foundation to find a way to get funds to flood-affected farming families. The applications through the Co-op’s Farm Fund have just opened. We are so grateful for their quick action and hard work to make this happen. See more information below…
Subject: Now Open! 2026 Farm Fund Flood Response Grant
Hello,
Due to the recent major flooding event, the Community Food Co-op's Farm Fund is supporting the cleanup, stabilization, and rebuilding efforts of local farms. The Farm Fund grant cycle will distribute a limited number of grants up to $5,000 for projects that address emergency flood response, flood recovery, and related immediate farm needs. Farm businesses or farm business support organizations impacted by flooding are encouraged to apply for a Farm Fund grant.
About the Farm Fund: The volunteer Farm Fund committee is comprised of local farmers and food advocates that work toward strengthening the market for organic and sustainable agriculture in Whatcom County. The Farm Fund has provided $878k+ to local food and farming projects through grants, loans, scholarships, and emergency funds since 2000. 100% of donations through the Co-op go straight to our local farming community.
