Partner with Heifer
Together, we can scale, sustain, and innovate
Heifer International works with strategic partners at the local, national, and global levels who share our commitment to improving the lives of farming families across Africa, Asia and the Americas, through a locally-led approach.
We know from decades of experience that achieving scale and impact is built on co-creating comprehensive and environmentally friendly solutions. Join us in catalyzing positive change for smallholder farming communities worldwide.
Types of Partnerships
Governments
We work with local and national governments to advance policies and programs that support smallholder farmer development.
Foundations
Heifer International’s partnerships with mission-driven Foundations lead to lasting impact in rural communities, as we combine expertise, experience and resources to create opportunities and strengthen resilience.
Local Partners
Catalyzing positive impact for smallholder farming communities requires engagement with the full range of participants in local agricultural value chains – not just the farmers themselves. Heifer’s role is to facilitate interlinkages among market actors and enablers who can create the conditions for sustainable economic opportunity for farmers.
Global Institutions
Heifer International partners with global institutions to fund and scale our work around the world.
Heifer proactively seeks strategic and long term relationships with global institutions that align with our objectives to end hunger and poverty while caring for the earth. We identify and pursue funding opportunities from development banks, bilateral aid agencies and governments, United Nations agencies and global climate funds that align with our signature programs and benefit our smallholder farmers in the countries where we work.
Innovation Partners
Collaborations with digital tech, fintech, research organizations, and universities make innovations accessible and affordable.
