By spending five minutes online, charities and community programs or events could win one of 66, $2,500 grants from Bayer’s Canada’s Farmers Grow Communities Program.
“Farmers and rural communities are the focus of our business, and we want to see them remain strong,” said Trish Jordan, senior business partner, government and industry affairs with Bayer’s CropScience division. “This program helps boost the incredible work being done in these critical communities. They’re the fabric of Canada and we want to do our part to help them thrive.”
Canadian farmers are encouraged to apply on behalf of agricultural societies, 4-H clubs, playgrounds, daycares, school projects, community sporting organizations, libraries and health/service groups.

However, the program isn’t just for farmers. Any local charity can participate by suggesting a charity for farmers to consider in their application.
For information on participation, visit CanadasFarmers.ca. If you’re a farmer, complete a farmer application to nominate a charitable cause or not-for-profit in your community.
If you’re not a farmer, use the “charity suggestion” option. Applicants can apply until Sept. 30. Winners will be announced this fall.
