Agent Charitable Fund
The Michigan Farm Bureau Agent Charitable Fund (ACF) is a donor advised fund within the Michigan Foundation for Agriculture (MFA) with a mission of ending hunger in Michigan. Following the purpose and vision of the MFA, the fund grants monies to provide food, build agriculture awareness, educate and help citizens throughout the state.
In Michigan, 1,177,820 people are facing hunger - and 282,320 are children. The ACF is committed to serving Michigan families and creating great learning environments for kids in schools. When children are hungry and worried about where their next meal might come from, they can’t learn. When children are facing food insecurity, they can never unleash the power of their dreams and ignite their full potential.
Helping communities
“When we started talking about ways we could make an impact, the numbers, they were just staggering. As a business owner you want to do something to help your community.”

Creating opportunities
“Through educational opportunities, time and resources, we have the ability to help people better themselves, so that one day they don’t have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.”
— Angela Shannon
Making an impact
“We’re not just looking to write a check. We're deciding to make an impact. Providing opportunity for families and for children to succeed—and seeing it through. We're taking action and finding a solution to end hunger in Michigan.”
