Individuals support our work by becoming donor members. Your donation supports: 

• Cutting-edge agricultural projects directly from scientists in developing countries; prioritizing indigenous knowledge and smallholder farmer input
• Proposals that directly benefit women and children
• Projects that are sustainable and have positive impacts on the environment. 

Donor members have the option to participate in project discussions, and presentations directly from the research teams, keeping donors updated on the projects they are helping fund. Opportunities for networking and travel are also available for those who are interested.

If you don’t have the time, don’t worry! Every donation directly supports our projects, which we greatly appreciate. We understand that not all donors can attend member events, and that’s perfectly okay with us. We still offer a quarterly membership newsletter that keeps you updated on our projects, ensuring you know how your donation is making an impact.

Companies and organizations help Grow Further fund agricultural innovations in developing countries for global food security in these ways:

• Sponsor employee donor memberships to Grow Further, providing funding to our portfolio of projects and enhancing educational opportunities for employees through our donor engagement program.
• Support and sponsor specific projects vetted and monitored rigorously by Grow Further that align with corporate CSR/ESG objectives. 
• Match employee donations to Grow Further. 

If you are interested in learning more about our corporate & organizational partnerships, please contact Venkat Pegadaraju, venkat@growfurther.org.

Students can support our mission by becoming donor members and volunteers. As donor members, students participate in discussions with food security experts and international development leaders about ongoing and future projects. Those interested can attend presentations and engage directly with research teams, gaining valuable insights. Grow Further provides networking opportunities for members to connect with each other and the research teams they support.

Our mission wouldn’t be possible without the help of global food security-minded individuals and organizations. Each year, Grow Further engages volunteers who give generously of their time and talents. 

Volunteer roles include screening and peer review of grant applications, translating content to various languages, serving as ambassadors and spreading the word about our work, submitting articles to our newsletter. etc. 

If you would like to volunteer your time to help support Grow Further, please fill out the information form at the bottom of this page. We will schedule time with you to learn about your interests.

Grow Further is a nonprofit organization that makes grants for agricultural research relevant to smallholder farmers and other populations at risk of food insecurity. We make open calls for researchers to submit proposals for funding, and in some cases also management assistance. Notifications of such calls are made through our newsletter, will be apparent on our website, and will be publicized through international networks.
