Island Agriculture

Four-Season Island Agriculture Fund

This small-grant program is designed to support sustainable-agriculture projects in Maine’s 15 unbridged year-round island communities. 

About the Fund:

Four Season Island AgricultureMade possible by a generous grant from the 1772 Foundation, the fund seeks to support farming/gardening projects that contribute towards increasing the amount of locally produced food, and/or raising awareness about island-based agricultural efforts and heritage.

Since the program launched in 2009, the fund has made 25 awards totaling $20,000 in giving to island farms, schools, and community gardens.  .

We are not currently soliciting applications for the Four-Season Island Agriculture Fund.  For questions or to discuss ideas for future island agriculture support please contact: silgrants@islandinstitute.org.

For information about awards made through previous funding rounds in spring 2009 and 2010, please see the link to the announcements below.
