Local Initiative Grants
WFU county/local units may apply for a Local Initiative Grant. We encourage applicants to use this form to provide information about their proposal. Applications that do not use this form are limited to three pages in length. A typical grant amount is between $300-$600. We do approve larger grants, but please note that any request over $1,000 is subject to WFU Board approval, and consideration of the request will take longer. The grants committee reserves the right to approve an application at a reduced funding level, especially in the case of larger requests.
Financial Statements
To be filled out by county, county-local, or local F.U. Treasurer for the purpose of inclusion into Wisconsin Farmers Union’s audit reporting.
WFU Foundation Grants
The WFU Foundation maintains a modest Small Grant Program to provide support to a variety of farm and rural organizations and projects. Grant amounts are generally under $2,000 and are typically between $200 to $500.
