Introducing the Shared Fundraising Initiative!

July 10, 2025 | For Consumers

Support Your Market. Support Farmers Markets Across Michigan.

This August, MIFMA and select Michigan local food marketplaces are launching an exciting new way for you to give back to your local market and the statewide organization that supports them all in one action.


Introducing the Shared Fundraising Initiative

Your local farmers market is more than a place to shop—it’s a hub for community, fresh food, and local pride. But keeping it running takes resources, and most markets operate on very tight budgets.

That’s where you come in.

This summer the Michigan Farmers Market Association (MIFMA) is teaming up with local farmers markets to raise funds together. When you donate through this campaign, half your gift supports your market directly, and half supports MIFMA, which provides essential resources, training, and advocacy for markets across the state.


How It Works

  1. Look for the signs at your participating markets.
  2. Scan the QR code to donate securely online or visit the form directly here.
  3. Give what you can—every dollar makes a difference!

You can also support the campaign online throughout the month of August on MIFMA’s or your local markets social media pages.

Why It Matters

  • Your donation helps your market stay strong, vibrant, and community-led.
  • It also helps MIFMA continue to support markets statewide with tools, training, and funding programs.
  • You’re investing in a future where farmers markets grow and thrive in every Michigan community.

 

Together, We Grow Stronger.

Thank you for loving your market—and for helping us make sure farmers markets across Michigan keep growing for years to come.

 

Give now!
