Donations of $2 and over are tax deductible. Your donation to Rural Aid is secure. We are committed to ensuring that your donation is used to aid farmers and rural communities.
Every dollar you contribute will directly encourage others to give, multiplying the total funds raised.
Matching gifts create momentum, motivating new and existing donors to contribute.
It is the best incentive for supporters to donate, as their own contribution can be matched by pledged matched giving funds.
If you choose, we would be delighted to acknowledge your generosity in our campaign materials and share the collective impact made possible by your support.
