RAF provides grants to organizations whose work promotes our vision of a world where
the inherent value of people, plants, animals and the planet
are honored and stewarded in a way that regenerates both human and natural communities.
Whether you’re a grantee organization or a funder,
RAF believes in trust and relationship-based philanthropy.
That’s why RAF utilizes participatory grantmaking processes, where decisions are made by committees of leaders in the field.

“These organizations not only use practices that support healthy soils, clean water, and mitigate climate change, they also carry a land-ethic rooted in the intergenerational and ancestral knowledge of their respective communities. Relating to land and each other in those ways truly transforms our food and farm systems amid the compounding social and climate crises of these times.”

Much of RAF’s grantmaking is conducted with participatory grantmaking processes, including our farm bill advocacy support and Restorying Regenerative Agriculture. RAF has one annual distribution of its general grantmaking, conducted by invitation only, in the summer.
The Regenerative Agriculture Foundation has an invitation-only process for grantmaking, and requires 501(c)3 status or equivalent.
At this time we only consider grants within the United States or affiliated territories (Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, etc).
If you have an idea that you would like to have considered, we welcome you to send a brief paragraph about your vision through the form on this page. Submissions will be periodically reviewed by our team; we will be in touch if we have further questions about your work.
