Charles Foreman presents the Walker Community Betterment Association Treasurer, Brandy Pritchett, a check for $2,500 as a grant from Grow Farmers and sponsored by Bayer Fund.

• The America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, sponsored by Bayer Fund, partners with farmers to provide grants to local nonprofits to help their communities.

• Through the program, farmers enroll for the chance to direct a $2,500 donation to a local eligible nonprofit organization of their choice.

• The America’s Farmers programs have given more than $57 million to rural America since 2010.

“We would like to thank Charles for donating this money to help this fledgling organization. Only three years old, we’ve sponsored a celebration in honor of Walker’s Sesquicentennial. However, it has been very hard to hold any fundraisers because of Covid-19. This will greatly help the community,” said Brandy Pritchett, WCBA treasurer.

Since 2010, the America’s Farmers programs have awarded more than $57 million to nonprofits, aspiring ag students and public schools across rural America. Farmers know the needs of their communities best, so the America’s Farmers programs rely on them to help identify the most worthy causes.

The Grow Communities program partners with farmers across the country to provide nonprofit organizations with resources to strengthen their local communities. Each August, farmers can enter for the chance to direct a $2,500 Grow Communities donation to a local eligible nonprofit of their choice. Farmers have directed donations to food banks, emergency response organizations, schools, youth agriculture programs and many others that reflect the spirit and support the vibrancy of rural America.

“Farmers truly understand the needs of their communities and where the opportunities to strengthen them exist. We partner with them to identify the nonprofit organizations that benefit from Grow Communities donations,” said Al Mitchell, Bayer Fund president. “Each donation shines a light on the organizations that are making a positive difference in rural communities across the country. Bayer Fund is proud to partner with farmers to give back in rural America.”
