The Farmers' Company Charitable Fund supports the development of future leaders in UK agriculture, with a clear emphasis on education, practical training, and professional exposure for students and young farmers. Its giving mixes scholarships, prizes, apprenticeships, and conference support, while also backing community-facing farming education such as city farms and urban agriculture projects. The fund is distinctive for its hands-on approach: it often combines financial aid with mentorship, travel/study support, and direct links to agricultural institutions and industry partners.
Small to moderate grants and awards, often annually recurring, with several programs being invitation-based or nominated through colleges and partners. Support includes fixed scholarships (e.g., up to £16,000 for Nuffield study, up to £750 for Jubilee Scholarships), student prizes, and in-kind or mentoring-based apprenticeship support.
