Gifts of Grain & Farmland
Your farm work is your livelihood. You prepare, you plant, you nurture, and your farm flourishes. That is exactly what we do with the charitable gifts entrusted to your Community Foundation, and we invite you to grow the future of your community with us.
Share Your Harvest: Give Grain
Donating a gift of grain to your Community Foundation is a simple way to make a lasting difference. This method not only helps your community thrive but also offers substantial tax advantages for you as a farmer.
The value of the grain can be used to start or add to a charitable fund to support the cause, community, or charity that matters to you. Or, create a more flexible giving vehicle with a donor advised fund. No matter what and how you choose to support, you can be sure that your gift of grain
is growing the future of your community.
Farmland for Good
Agriculture is the heart of our region and one of its greatest assets. The Farmland for Good program provides a way for farmland to fuel local charitable resources for years to come. Farmland for Good gives the landowner flexibility in structuring a charitable gift so that it reflects their unique goals and values.
Alton Vannice was the 10th generation of his family to farm in America, learning his family’s values of progressive thinking, hard work, and determination. While learning these skills on the farm, he learned leadership skills through the Palmyra FFA Chapter and used them throughout his career, serving on numerous committees and boards. Through a gift of grain, the Alton A. Vannice Leadership Fund was established, supporting the next generation of agricultural leaders.
