Horizon Farm Credit Launches Community Investment Grant Program to Empower Nonprofit Organizations
Horizon Farm Credit is proud to announce the launch of its Community Investment Grant Program, aimed at supporting nonprofit organizations dedicated to strengthening communities within its 100-county footprint. The program offers grants of up to $10,000 to initiatives focusing on agriculture innovation, agriculture education, diversity in agriculture, environmental stewardship, and strengthening communities.
"We recognize the crucial role nonprofits play in enhancing the vitality of the communities we serve," said Tom Truitt, Horizon Farm Credit Chief Executive Officer.
