The future of food and farming is diverse, regenerative and local.
Where your food comes from, and who grows it matters. You care about the quality of ingredients, the well-being of local farmers and the longevity of our natural resources.
Support Our Mission
A healthier, regenerative, equitable local food and farm system is possible.
For the past 50 years, the Illinois Stewardship Alliance has built a statewide base of farmers and eaters to form a powerful voice that centers the needs of Illinois farmers, our communities, and the protection of our natural resources.
Your gift today is essential to shape our food and farm system in ways that work for our farmers, communities and planet. Your annual gift secures your place in our membership for one year.

Other Ways to Give
Budget-Friendly Monthly Giving
Become a Sustaining Member
There are no shortcuts to transform the food and farm system. It is long-haul work that requires long-term support. When you become a sustaining member, you will join a growing group of supporters that are committed to transforming the food and farm system every month with a small gift that adds up to make a big impact. This steady support allows us to respond quickly to urgent changes and opportunities.
Becoming a sustaining member is easy. Set up your automatic monthly contribution here, and forget about it! No checks to send in or due dates to remember. We’ll automatically bill your card and send a statement in December summarizing your gifts for that calendar year.

Elevate your business as a partner in change
Your business partnership provides secure support while changing the food and farm system. The Alliance has built a reputation for championing small and mid-sized farms, supply chain operations, culinary service providers, and local food and farm businesses in between.
