BASF Canada Agricultural Solutions’ (BASF) community investment program, Growing Home with BASF, has even more to give in its third year. From Feb 4 to March 3, individuals in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario can nominate the local organizations that help their communities grow to win a portion of the initiative's new $160,000 prize fund.
Farmers and their rural communities are the heartbeat of Canada. Growing Home with BASF offers a chance to highlight and support the organizations that are making a positive impact on their communities. Twelve organizations will win big this year, with second- and third-place prizes added in each participating province:
- First place: $25,000
- Second place: $10,000
- Third place: $5,000
“Growing Home with BASF is an incredible opportunity to support organizations that are the backbone of their rural communities,” said Leta LaRush, Vice President, Business Management at BASF Canada Agricultural Solutions. “We are excited to continue expanding this program and helping strengthen Canadian farming communities.”
Nominations submitted by March 3 will be judged based on criteria, including alignment to supporting Canadian agriculture and rural communities. Following the nomination period, 12 finalists — three from each province — will be selected and announced for public voting from April 1-15 to determine the first-, second- and third-place organizations in each province.
Voting is open to individuals who reside in Canada and have reached the legal age of majority in their province or territory of residence. The winners, based on the number of votes, will be announced April 29.
