PCC Farmland Trust Challenge Grant update & list of donors
We’d like to officially announce the overwhelming success of our Ames Creek Challenge Grant.
Our goal was to raise $40,000 by November 1, in order to take advantage of a challenge grant from a group of generous supporters. We asked for your support, and you responded!
We not only made our $40,000 goal, but surpassed it by over $21,000. In total, we’ve raised $81,000. As a result, we are able to pay off our Ames Creek Farm loan, and are continuing full speed ahead to save our next farm.
A million thanks to all of our donors and a shared congratulations on this collaborative, grassroots effort! Together we are making a real difference in securing, preserving, and stewarding threatened farmland in the Northwest.
We’d like to individually acknowledge the many generous donors who have contributed during our Ames Creek Challenge. We also offer thanks to our anonymous donors. We could not do it without your continued support!
