Our commitment goes beyond financing
Farm Credit of the Virginias’ support of agriculture and the rural communities we serve extends the agricultural credit and financial services we offer. Our cooperative provides added support to our customer-owners and the rural communities we call home through our Charitable Contributions Fund, in which we provide donations and grant funding to organizations that serve our territory and align with our mission. The fund allows our cooperative to support the advancement of the agriculture industry and enhance the quality of life in the rural communities we serve.
Our community engagement ranges from small-scale local efforts to greater regional aid. We also offer two grant programs to support specific projects: the Charitable Contributions Fund (CCF) grant program and the Agricultural Career Enhancement (ACE) grant program. Causes we're passionate about include food security, veteran services, youth agriculture involvement and literacy, disaster relief, agricultural education and more.
Agricultural Career Enhancement (ACE) Grant Program
The objective of the ACE grant program is to support agricultural career development programs at postsecondary education institutions, including those in agricultural sciences, agricultural technology, agricultural education, agribusiness, conservation and more.
Charitable Contributions Fund (CCF) Grant Program
The objective of the CCF grant program is to provide funding for non-profits and charitable organizations that support agriculture and/or the rural communities we serve. Initiatives we support include food security, veteran services, youth agriculture involvement, farm safety and more.
