The MFCC 2026 Rapid Resource Micro-grant Fund exists to support farmers during moments of crisis, disruption, and transition. When systems are slow, inaccessible, or unsafe especially for undocumented, immigrant, and under-resourced farmers, this fund moves resources quickly and with care.
We are excited to offer unrestricted micro‑grants and rapid‑response support so farmers can meet immediate needs, stabilize their work, and continue feeding our communities.
This fund is grounded in trust, dignity, and the wisdom of our community. We do not ask about immigration status, we keep paperwork to a minimum, and we center safety and self-determination in our process. Our initial focus is on the Metro Surge-affected regions across Minnesota.
To keep the program on schedule, farmers awarded an RRF grant must be prepared to confirm their name and mailing address with our team on another Jotform after being chosen to receive their funds within 10 days of being notified. This form will be sent via email.
