Regenerative Farmer Assurance Fund (RFAF)

In early 2025, federal uncertainty froze key agricultural grants and loans, delaying reimbursements and leaving organic and regenerative farmers without the cash needed to implement soil-building practices and critical infrastructure improvements. Healing Soils Foundation created the Regenerative Farmer Assurance Fund (RFAF) as a bridge during that crisis — providing recoupable grants that allowed farmers to keep moving, continue conservation projects, and avoid taking on additional debt. When reimbursements arrived, funds were repaid and redeployed, creating a regenerative pool of capital that protected both farmers and progress.

Today, as incentive programs continue to evolve, timelines shift, and new opportunities emerge, RFAF has grown into something more powerful: a flexible, revolving capital tool that helps farmers move at the speed of opportunity. Rather than stall out while paperwork catches up, farmers can access upfront cash to secure market contracts, enroll in cost-share programs, invest in on-farm infrastructure, and unlock larger public dollars flowing into the region.

Your donation fuels this cycle. When funds are repaid, they’re immediately re-granted to the next farm — compounding impact season after season.

By supporting RFAF, you are:

• Unlocking public funding that might otherwise remain out of reach

• Increasing acres under regenerative management

• Keeping independent farmers on the land

• Strengthening rural economies and regional supply chains

A resilient agricultural system isn’t built on debt and delay — it’s built on catalytic support that matches farmers’ momentum.

Donate today — and help power a regenerative pool of capital that supports the farmers who support our future.
