Project Partners

Want to be a project partner, working directly with Heifer field staff to develop livestock and/or agricultural-related programs?

Here’s how it works:

1. Interested grassroots groups or intermediary organizations contact Heifer.
   
2. The group or organization completes a form of basic information related to its structure, purpose and need for assistance.
   
3. A member of our field staff reviews the information to determine that the request is in line with our mission.
   
4. A field staff member makes a site visit to assist the group with goal-setting and with Heifer’s application/reporting procedures.
   
5. The group prepares and submits a detailed project proposal to the Heifer field office. (Revisions may be recommended).
   
6. The Heifer field staff selects projects for funding.
   
7. The Heifer headquarters or field office (depending on budget amount requested) approves, suggests modifications or rejects the proposal.
   
8. Heifer signs a letter of agreement with group/organization for approved projects and the funding begins.
