Double-Up Donation Program

The Agent Charitable Fund supports county Farm Bureaus’ efforts to end hunger in their communities by providing matching funds to local organizations and programs which represent the ACF mission. 

Examples of matchable programs include the following -

  1. Your county makes a monetary donation to a local nonprofit or school district for the purpose of purchasing food for a hunger-relief program or project.

  2. Your county facilitates and leads a local hunger-relief project (ex - a community Thanksgiving meal)

  3. Your county purchases protein or produce and donates those items in-kind to a food pantry or school.

Hot tip - many counties will facilitate Harvest for All fundraising events to raise funds for a donation or project above. Examples of fundraising events include cornhole tournaments, softball tournaments and collecting funds during your county annual meeting.

Counties who wish to apply for a donation match must:

  1. Coordinate with your county leadership to identify a food pantry or program to support.

  2. Review the 2025 Double-Up Donation Guidelines to ensure your contribution qualifies for a donation match.

  3. Submit a donation match request using the button below.

  4. Once your request is approved, make your contribution for at least twice the approved amount (the total contribution should equal available county funds plus awarded Double-Up Donation match). Counties will be provided a deadline to make their contribution in their award email.

  5. Email your donation receipt to the ACF Manager at [email protected] by the requested deadline in your award email, and ACF will reimburse for their portion of the donation.
