What's New

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!

Anne is the Marketing Manager for Whole Foods Market in Chapel Hill and brings lots of other valuable experience such as having managed the Carrboro Farmers' Market! Nora recently received certification as a Green Roof Professional and moved to Carrboro from Washington, DC where she was Director of Public Partnerships for DC Greenworks.

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!
