Regenerate Ohio Farms Grant

Regenerate Ohio Farms Grant

What began as a response to the cancellation and delays of federal funding, the Elevar Fund, in partnership with Healing Soils Foundation (HSF), formed the Regenerate Ohio Farms Grant to offset financial disruptions and provide critical relief to Ohio farmers affected by these disruptions. Whether it is infrastructure for grazing systems, the preservation of perennial cropping projects, or food access programs rooted in soil health, Regenerate Ohio Farms is a proof point for what’s possible when funders, nonprofits, and farmers work together.

Michael & Shawn Rubiera

We believe in approaching opportunities from a place of curiosity, problem-solving and discovery. In building our company, we were creating the scaffolding as we grew. Often that meant breaking and rebuilding, pivoting, and being unafraid to try something new. Our approach to philanthropy will have an infusion of that same entrepreneurial spirit."
