Support the Florida Small Farmers Scholarship Fund
Your tax deductible gift of $50 or more will help Florida small farmers attend the Florida Small Farms and Alternative Enterprises Conference who otherwise may not be able to attend. Your donation will be applied to a conference attendee's registration fee, thereby enabling a Florida small farmer to attend at a reduced or no registration cost. Applicants for the registration scholarship will need to meet certain criteria in order to be selected to receive support (Example: low-income, beginning farmer/rancher).
To donate to the registration scholarship fund, simply indicate your gift amount when you register for the conference. If you do not plan to attend the conference, but would like to donate to the registration scholarship fund, click on "Not attending the conference, but would like to donate".
