Community Grants Program

Program Description

Land O’Lakes Foundation recognizes rural communities are a cornerstone of American life and has established ongoing giving programs to insure their vitality and growth. Foundation resources are awarded through several programs that donate cash and encourage employee volunteerism in communities across the United States — where over 300,000 farmers, ranchers and employees work in agriculture, food and fiber production, dairy processing and food marketing.

Land O’Lakes Foundation Community Grants Program provides support through cash grants to nonprofit organizations that are working to improve communities where      Land O’Lakes has a significant concentration of members or employees. These include organizations

• Such as United Way that provide funding to community human services.
• That work to alleviate hunger.
• Designed to build knowledge and leadership skills of rural youth.
• Active in addressing and solving community problems.
• Promoting artistic endeavors — especially in under-served rural areas, touring or outreach programs.
