As we close out 2025, we are reaching out with both gratitude and candor. This year tested us in ways that we did not anticipate. Between federal funding challenges, a strained philanthropic sector, policy uncertainty, and the high demands on our services in an increasingly difficult farming environment, our organization faced significant headwinds—many of which we’re still working to overcome.  

Despite these obstacles, we never wavered in our mission. AGW-certified farmers continued their hard work, bolstered by our team’s commitment to providing the support and services they depend on, and our respected certifications still empowered consumers to find products that match their values. But to start off 2026 on strong footing, we need your help now more than ever.

As we look forward to 2026, we are determined to expand our efforts widely. Your end of year donation will help us to certify more farms, provide essential farmer services, and create lasting change for animals, the environment, and our food system. If you’ve already given, thank you! If you haven’t yet and are able, will you also give a gift to support our work in 2026? Together, we can build a greener and more sustainable future.

Wishing you a joyous holiday season and a New Year filled with positive change,

Please consider making a generous one-time or monthly donation today to support AGW’s work.
