Development Matters

The 2007 farm bill has proven, once again, that success in the work that we tackle here at the Center for Rural Affairs requires persistence and determination. The disappointing farm bill debate demonstrates that winning real reform on fundamental issues often takes years or even decades.

That is why we created the Granary Foundation 10 years ago. We raised over $6 million dollars from donors making gifts of every size. Some gave cash gifts. Some included the Granary in their planned giving or their will.

Revenue from the invested principal of the Granary helps fund our most timely, crucial, and cutting-edge work. During 2008, we will embark upon a campaign to grow and strengthen the Granary. We invite you to join us on this journey and encourage you to consider the ways that you could invest in a better future for rural America by contributing to growing the Granary.
