High Impact Programmes
We invite companies and philanthropic organisations to contact us directly to find out more about our high impact programmes that need support. With these programmes we ask companies to consider a 3-5 year partnership, with annual support, to allow us to plan ahead.
We have tailored documents on each of these programmes and can offer a bespoke package to funders on request.
These include:
- The annual National Farming For Nature Ambassador Awards.
- A nation-wide Horse Mouth Mentorship programme.
- Building up the Farming For Nature Network through open days and a wide scale conference.
Please note that Farming For Nature only accept long term funding from partners whose values align with ours. We ask all funders to complete a screening form to ensure this is the case. Our partners have the opportunity to be listed on our website as a supporter of our work. To request a form please contact us directly.
Contact us directly at [email protected] to discuss High Impact Programmes more.
To achieve the goals of our annual Farming For Nature strategic plan we have to find approximately €500,000 each year to carry out our 20 different programmes. Over 30% of this is currently supported by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine but funding has to be applied for annually. We could do so much more with your help!
