Community Support

Our commitment goes beyond financing

Farm Credit of the Virginias’ support of agriculture and the rural communities we serve extends the agricultural credit and financial services we offer. Our cooperative provides added support to our customer-owners and the rural communities we call home through our Charitable Contributions Fund, in which we provide donations and grant funding to organizations that serve our territory and align with our mission. The fund allows our cooperative to support the advancement of the agriculture industry and enhance the quality of life in the rural communities we serve.

Our community engagement ranges from small-scale local efforts to greater regional aid. We also offer two grant programs to support specific projects: the Charitable Contributions Fund (CCF) grant program and the Agricultural Career Enhancement (ACE) grant program. Causes we're passionate about include food security, veteran services, youth agriculture involvement and literacy, disaster relief, agricultural education and more.

Grant Programs
