County Action Partnership

The Florida Farm Bureau is seeking partnerships with County Farm Bureaus that involve economic, legal or regulatory initiatives. The County Action Partnership (CAP) Program will provide up to $5,000 funding for approved projects. Successful applicants will be selected by the CAP Committee and must be approved by the Florida Farm Bureau Board of Directors. This innovative program has been created to provide financial assistance for County Farm Bureaus interested in implementing projects of significant importance to Florida agriculture.

Successful partnerships must have a broad impact on substantial numbers of Farm Bureau members and priority will be given to projects that do not recur annually. Priority will also be given to new projects and programs with meaningful cost share from the county Farm Bureau and other partners.
