| Dear Dennis,
Every product you purchase has a story of how it impacts the planet. But because of high costs for design updates, roadblocks at the processing plant, machinery or materials, putting a farm’s story on a label is often out of reach for the most sustainable farms.
This Earth Day, we’re asking you to help change that.
Last year, thanks to generous donors, A Greener World’s labeling grant program was launched and successfully supported 26 Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW producers in incorporating the AWA logo into their packaging—clearly showing their high-welfare, pasture-based farming practices. The response from our farmer network was tremendous—and the difference it made was real:
“The grant allowed us to get egg cartons with the labeling that truly [attracts] attention when at market or in advertising photos. We are very excited that we are currently redoing all of our Goat Milk Soap products labels to include the logo as well. We feel this will be a large benefit in helping us stand out in a saturated market.”
“This grant was more helpful than I had anticipated. The financial assistance helped me push past the hurdle of exploring and educating myself about what my needs were and solutions. I was able to be creative and find the best solution vs. just enough of a solution. I am grateful.”
Now, we need your support to replenish the fund so we can keep helping farmers share their story.
This year, our goal is to raise $12,500 to fund 25 more grants—supporting 25 more farmers and brands in getting the Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW logo onto their products and into the hands of consumers who are looking for it. Grants of up to $500 per operation help certified producers in the U.S. and Canada cover practical costs—label printing, branded packaging, processing plant label update fees, and more. At a time when farmers are struggling with increased costs, this grants means a lot.
Funding is limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, which means every dollar you give today goes to work immediately.
When a farmer can proudly display the Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW logo, consumers can shop with confidence—knowing the product they’re choosing was raised with integrity, transparency, and genuine care for people, animals, and the environment. |
