CT NOFA Seeks Fundraising Ambassadors
September 24, 2024
As part of CT NOFA’s annual fundraising appeal, we are seeking ambassadors from our community who will reach out to their networks and community to help bring awareness to our mission and programming, particularly the critical nature of the work we do.
Are you an supporter of our work who would like to spread the message about what we do? We’d be deeply grateful for your support! We’ll provide you with tools to get the word out via email, social media, and other means, as well as a bespoke fundraising link to share with those who would like to donate to help keep the CT NOFA mission of a more organic Connecticut flourishing. You can set your own community fundraising goal and share how it progresses, this fall.
In gratitude, CT NOFA will provide all ambassadors with the following:
All participants will receive
- Free admission to our next Winter Conference, in March 2025
- Special recognition in our December edition of Gleanings
Milestone rewards
- Raise $500: receive a CT NOFA reusable tote bag
- Raise $750: receive a CT NOFA organic cotton t-shirt
- Raise $1,000: receive special recognition at the membership meeting of next year’s Winter Conference, in March 2025
With your help, we can set the stage for continued successes in 2025, improving, expanding, and defending organic agriculture, healthy soil, and environmental sustainability in the northeast.

Advocacy News: May 2026
The Good News: CT Senator Chris Murphy has introduced a bill (bipartisan and bicameral) to increase funding for Agricultural Management Assistance to $30 million and to expand the eligible uses for these funds to include “soil health improvements, composting, implementing organic farming, and food safety certification in addition to existing authorized uses such as water management structure and soil erosion control.” Let’s thank Senator Murphy for introducing this bill!
The Bad News: The Farm Bill passed the House of Representatives on April 30, despite 320 food, farm, and conservation organizations, including CT NOFA, voicing our opposition to a bill that does not fix SNAP, does not support new and beginning farmers, and does not adequately support conservation programs or organic agriculture. Now it goes to the Senate and we need to urge both of Connecticut’s Senators to reject this Farm Bill.
Our Vision for a Future of Resilient, Plentiful, Healthy and Locally-Grounded Farming and Food
In concluding its annual retreat, the Northeast Organic Farming Association Interstate Council (NOFA IC) reaffirms the values that have grounded our work for 55 years.
Our vision is that every person is able to live their life with healthy food, clean water and air, community, livelihood, dignity, and purpose within the means of our life-giving planet. We seek that vision on every level, from our households and farms to our communities, states, bioregions, nation, and world. For that vision to be fulfilled, every person, no matter their origin or circumstances, must have all their basic human needs met without degrading the air, water, soil, ecosystems, and climate which we have been given and on which we depend for our lives.
