Donate to our Agency Fund

Farms at Work has created a Farms at Work Fund with the Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough. Funds you donate to the “Farms at Work Fund” will be invested by the Foundation to generate income, and they will provide us with an annual grant, supporting the long term stability of our organization.

The Foundation accepts donations of cash and securities.

The Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough generously supported a matching program in 2025: matching up to $5,000 in donations made to each Agency Fund held with the Foundation. We are thrilled to share that one generous and dedicated donor fulfilled our ENTIRE matching opportunity. Thank you to a local farm family for demonstrating community support for our work!

While this matching opportunity has closed, donations to our Agency Fund help to support the long term future of Farms at Work.  Gifts made in this way continue to grow over time, creating lasting support for the programs and farmers we serve.
