Ceres Trust redistributed all funds in support of the incredible work being undertaken toward stewarding healthy farms, forests, and communities; and the ecosystems upon which we all depend.

Ceres Trust is now closed.

Documents are being archived at the Wisconsin Historical Society Organic and Sustainable Agriculture History Collections Project.

Ceres Trust, whose name honors the ancient goddess of agriculture, provided grants that support healthy and resilient farms, forests and communities; and the ecosystems upon which we all depend.

Ceres Trust supported movement–oriented organizations; independent scientists; and the preservation and restoration of ecological, Indigenous and farmer knowledge.

Ceres Trust invested in the organizing, strategy development and resiliency required to spark systemic, equitable and transformative change.

Ceres Trust emphasized long–term relationships with grantees. Grantmaking was focused in Hawai’i, the upper Midwest, and the San Joaquin Valley of California.
