Board members and friends of Benevolence Farm mingled with teenage chickens and goats, enjoyed some delicious snacks and took home fresh, organic vegetables just picked from the Lazy Turtle fields. It's not too late to make a fully tax-deductible contribution to Benevolence Farm, every dollar will be doubled through the generous match from the Snider Family Charitable Fund! Just click here!
The Snider Family Charitable Fund became aware of our mission last fall and offered an unsolicited grant to support our work in 2009. This was a wonderful and unexpected way to kick off our fund raising efforts! We invite you to double your contribution to Benevolence Farm through the continued generosity of the Snider Family Charitable Fund who has agreed to match all contributions up to $20,000 in 2010. The Snider Family Charitable Fund is administered through the Ayco Charitable Foundation.
We are seeking land in Alamance County and/or northwest Chatham County for Benevolence Farm. We are exploring and inviting creative lease/purchase options, a charitable donation, partnering with an already established farm, and/or partnering with another community-based/public organization. If you know of land that may be a good fit, please contact us at info@benevolencefarm.org!
The UNC Community Development Law Clinic assisted us in filing for and obtaining our official non-profit status in July. Now all of your generous contributions are fully tax deductible!
