Many producers take on the business and lifestyle of farming because they want to serve their community. From healthy food to environmental benefits, the social values are clear. But does this mean the farm should be organized as a nonprofit? What about other social benefit entities like benefit corporations?
Join us on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 12 PM CT for a free 90-minute webinar where you’ll have the chance to work through the pros and cons of each option to make an effective choice for individual operations, including attention to funding sources and regulations. Folks who already have chosen a social benefit entity will get tips on the legal implications and best practices for the various options.
This program will also touch on how to optimize donations or sponsorships, rather than forming a social benefit business structure. Presented by Farm Commons Executive Director and Attorney, Rachel Armstrong, Esq., and Ryan Elwood, Farm Manager and Educator at the Kindness Farm who’s been through the process, this interactive webinar will be full of practical information.
Registration closes on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, so make sure to register today here!
