The Slough Support Fund
Part of Slough Farm’s mission is to support our fellow non-profit organizations. Sometimes that looks like partnering on a project or program, but organizations also reach out asking for financial assistance with their own project, program or community event. The Slough Support Fund is our solution to help fellow nonprofits fund creative and thoughtful projects that might not qualify for other traditional grants.
We will be awarding a total of $85,000, with individual grants between $5000 and $25,000. Preference will be given to larger, big impact, and collaborative projects.
Applicants must apply through our website using the google form above in order to be considered. Applications will be accepted between April 8th and May 15th. Grant recipients will be selected by year round staff of Slough Farm and will be notified by June 15th if their projects are chosen to be funded.
Projects could include things like: A summer teen program, a new walk-in freezer, staff trainings, building projects, new software implementation, operational improvements, housing upgrades, sustainability projects etc.
Grant Requirements:
Organization must be a Martha’s Vineyard based 501c(3) not for profit organization eligible to receive grant funding.
Awarded funds must be used by the end of the following calendar year (awards given in 2024 must be used by the end of 2025).
Upon completion of the project, Slough Farm must be notified that it is finished, along with a brief report about project, program or event.
Organizations must acknowledge Slough Farm in all press and storytelling involving their project.
