Giving Tuesday is right around the corner! Support our work at AUA next Tuesday, December 1 by contributing to our Grown In Chicago Campaign! All of the proceeds will support AUA's new programs, all designed by and for Chicago's urban agriculture community. 

In 2020, AUA launched a number of new and exciting programs, all designed by and for Chicago's urban agriculture community! Here are a few of our highlights from this year:
  • Launched the Farmer to Farmer Mentorship Program
  • Established the COVID-19 Farmer Support Grant, granting over $120,000 to urban farms and community gardens.
  • Launched the Grown In Chicago Online Assessment Tool for urban farms. 
  • Established the Capacity Building Grant, designed to help urban farm businesses scale up their operations and expand programming efforts. 
To support the ongoing development of these programs, we invite you to support our "Grown in Chicago" campaign. For every $25 you contribute, you will have one raffle ticket entered into the pot, giving you a chance to win some of our amazing raffle items!
