Women's Fund

The Women’s Fund was first established in 1974 by the Farm Bureau Women’s Committee to collect and distribute funds to non-profit hospitals to care for kidney patients. Since that time, the fund has expanded its support to include organizations that focus on the community, health and well-being of Florida residents, particularly those that affect women and children, as well as education on the topic of agriculture. Since its inception, more than $300,000 has been raised and donated to various charitable causes. 

Some of the charities the Women’s Fund has helped over the years include Go Red for Women Campaign,Seamark Ranch, Russell House, Ronald McDonald House Charities, GiGi’s Playhouse, Ella’s Closet, Feeding Tampa Bay, Inc., Alzheimer’s Association, Glazer Children’s Museum and Ag Angels. 

County Farm Bureaus voluntarily contribute 10 cents per member to support the fund. This voluntary contribution helps Farm Bureau exemplify the compassion of the agricultural community. 

If you are a volunteer at heart and enjoy giving back to your local community, contact your county Farm Bureau office.
