Bayer Crop Science Canada is spending $165,000 to support rural-based charities through the Farmers Grow Communities Program.
Charities and community programs or events could win one of 66, $2,500 grants.
The program aims to improve rural communities by equipping local, non-profit organizations with funds to carry out community work.
Canadian farmers can apply on behalf of agricultural societies, 4-H clubs, playgrounds, daycares, school projects, community sporting organizations, libraries and health or service groups.
Any local charity can also participate by suggesting a charity for farmers to consider in their application.
Applications are available until Sept. 30 at CanadasFarmers.ca.
