We are proud to offer Agriculture Grants to Veterans and their dependents seeking financial support and are, or aspiring to be, farmers, value-added producers, or pupils in agriculture. The Agriculture Grant Program is designed to fulfill a financial gap for Veterans and their dependents after all other grants have been utilized and all means exhausted. Each Veteran is eligible to be awarded up to $15,000. We encourage applicants to stay within this amount for the project or curriculum they are requesting funds for. Applicants in need of small grants for expensable items are also encouraged to apply. In early 2023 Dauntless Veteran Foundation awarded $40,000 to five selected and eligible Veterans. $8,000 was given to invest in an Ag Leader yield monitor and mapping device for the combine and fertilizer spreader at the grant recipient's 800 acre farm. This technology allows them to measure product quality in the field, identify weak spots, and make informed decisions on soil samples and fertilizer use. $10,000 to purchase a portable saw mill, and log splitter with a log lift. Since getting these tools, the grant recipient has worked to reduce forest overgrowth and prevent wildfires, harvesting the overgrown wood and putting it to good use - some of the wood harvested was used for raised beds in the state governor's mansion! $15,750 was given to purchase a BCS walk behind tractor with implements. With the enhanced tractor, the grant recipient has been able to expand their operations and is now offering cover crop management to local farmers and landowners, helping local vineyards plant cover crops and prepare soil to plant pollinators. $5,750 was given to purchase a grain grinder, hay crusher, and pellet mill with the intent to help the recipient become self-sufficient and provide the local community and surrounding areas with quality Nubian goats, goats' milk, Mangalitsa pigs and pork, and alfalfa and Sericea hay/pellets. A $500 need based grant was given to help expand the recipients young operation in growing mushrooms and selling spawn kits to their local community. 40000 0 0 Carrie Martin Treasurer 20 0 0 0 Ben Martin President 20 0 0 0 Matt Blankenship Secretary 20 0 0 0 Martina Bialek Director 20 0 0 0 Ken Fritts Director 20 0 0 0 Leanne Babcock Executive Director 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OR Carrie Martin PO Box 951 Forest Grove OR 97116 9715175004 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 24802 38377 102016 165195 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24802 38377 102016 165195 14862 150333 0 0 0 0 296 296 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 165491 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Accounting Fees;83|Charities Annual Filing Fee Taxes;50|Legal Fees;680|Licensing;50|Stripe Transaction Fee;28|Veteran Viticulture Program;1883|Web Services;4537|Events;1247^Total;8558^
