How It Works
Fund
what's
real.
Specific needs. Documented purchases. No pooling.
For Donors
See what
it funded.
Your support goes to a specific, named farm need — not a general fund. When it's purchased, you see the receipt.
FarmFund connects your support to a specific, named farm need — not a general fund. Every item on the farm map is a current, verified need with a real cost. You choose where your support goes. Contributions to each need are gathered until the item can be purchased, then transferred to the farmer as part of that funding cycle. When the item is purchased, Shabani uploads a receipt photo and the map updates. You can see what your contribution helped make possible — documented, specific, and real.
FarmFund takes no administrative fee. The only deduction is Stripe's standard payment processing fee (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). Everything else reaches the farm.
For Farmers
No debt.
No strings.
Community-funded capital without loans, interest, or collateral. You owe your donors honest updates. Nothing more.
FarmFund gives smallholder farmers access to community capital — without debt, without collateral, and without giving up control of your farm.
Manage everything from your phone. The farmer dashboard is fully mobile. Post a need, set the cost, upload a photo. Your farm page goes live and supporters can contribute immediately. No paperwork. No approval cycles.
No loans. No interest. No collateral. FarmFund isn't a lender — it's a community investment platform. You owe your supporters honest updates and documented purchases. Not repayment.
Document as you go. When a need reaches its threshold, purchase the item and upload a receipt photo. That's the accountability model — straightforward documentation of what you bought and why.
You stay in control. Your farm, your decisions. Revenue from your harvest is yours to reinvest. FarmFund handles the funding infrastructure, donor communication, and the map.
For Partners & Organizations
Deploy
at scale.
Same infrastructure. Any farmer network. 90-day pilot to production.
What deployment looks like
Your organization onboards farmers to individual farm pages. Each farmer manages their own needs, updates, and purchase documentation via mobile. Your program managers access a shared admin dashboard — funding progress, receipt logs, donor activity, and impact data as the season unfolds.
The accountability layer your donors have been asking for
Contributions are tied to named farm needs, and purchases are documented with receipts as the season progresses. Need-level traceability that satisfies CSR requirements, institutional grant accountability, and major donor expectations.
A new model for smallholder finance
Traditional microfinance carries interest, collateral requirements, and repayment risk that exclude the farmers who need capital most. FarmFund offers a parallel model: community-funded investment where accountability is built into the product.
Engagement that retains donors
The farm map, purchase receipt posts, and farmer field updates create an ongoing relationship between your donor community and the farms they support. Donors return to see what was purchased, fund the next need, and share the story.
What a Pilot Looks Like
3–10 farms. 90-day cycle. Real receipts from day one.
We handle onboarding, documentation, and technical support. You bring the farms and the mission.
