Help us serve more fiber businesses in 2026:
Our work this year illustrated the critical role of business TA grants in our integrated capital model. Our TA grants help fiber farmers, ranchers, and processors strengthen business systems, access key services like bookkeeping, and prepare for loan financing on terms that let them thrive. This support is especially critical for entrepreneurs who have experienced the greatest barriers to access for traditional financing.
The Fibers Fund uses philanthropic dollars, DAF funds, and individual donations to make these grants, and your support counts. We put these funds right to work to support fiber businesses and to offset operating costs so we can keep our interest rates low for borrowers—comparable to the USDA’s patient farm loans, which many fiber businesses can’t access.
Thanks to our partners at Impact Charitable, we have a simple way for any individual donor, funder, or DAF holder to support our work with a tax-deductible donation: visit our Fibers Fund Donation Page!
We also continue to welcome inquiries from accredited investors, PRI funders, and family offices to participate in our notes offering. Thank you to our anchor investors!
