Canadian Foodgrains Bank among Canada’s top impact charities for eighth straight year

Canadian Foodgrains Bank has once again earned a spot on Charity Intelligence’s prestigious list of Canada’s Top 10 Impact Charities.

The annual ranking evaluates how effectively charities translate donations into measurable outcomes.

Foodgrains Bank executive director Andy Harrington said the consistent presence on the list highlights the commitment of its 15 member agencies and their local partners to transparency, efficiency, and meaningful change.

He said this is significant considering international aid is under intense scrutiny.

“In an era where the effectiveness of global assistance is increasingly questioned, this acknowledgment reinforces that well-executed humanitarian work truly makes a difference,” Harrington said. “It’s a testament to the commitment of our members, their partners, and our staff, as well as the compassionate Canadian supporters who continue to stand with communities facing hunger around the world – delivering real impact with compassion and integrity.”

With the announcement being made on the same day as the release of the federal budget, Harrington said funding for Official Development Assistance (ODA) should not be seen as an act of charity – but as a strategic investment in shared global stability, prosperity, and human dignity.

“We’re not just extending a helping hand to those in need [through ODA], we’re shaping a safer, more prosperous world for everyone, including Canadians… investing in others is, and always will be, an investment in ourselves,” he said.

We cover: today I am so excited to share this conversation with my buddy Eric Nordell of Beech Grove Farm in Pennsylvania to chat about, well, a lot of things. Eric and his wife Anne have run beech grove farm since 1983 and they do things a little differently (like farming with horses) but they dry farm which we discuss, they use some cover crops in the paths in interesting ways (also discussed) and in fact, we get into a whole digression about their deer fencing that you’re gonna wanna hear.
