American Agri-Women Receives 2024 Seed to Succeed Grant by Curious Plot

American Agri-Women (AAW) is thrilled to announce that Curious Plot has selected our organization as the 2024 Seed to Succeed grant program recipient. This generous partnership will provide us with $75,000 of in-kind marketing services, allowing us to further our mission of uniting and amplifying the voices of women in agriculture across the nation.

As the largest coalition of farm, ranch, and agribusiness women in the United States, AAW proudly represents more than 20 affiliates and members in 42 states. Together, we work to communicate with each other and with consumers, promoting the vital role of agriculture in our lives.

Curious Plot’s commitment to philanthropy and community support within the food, agriculture, and companion animal care sectors has been a cornerstone of their work for over three decades. Since the inception of the Seed to Succeed program in 2009, they have provided invaluable marketing support to nonprofits striving for positive change on limited budgets. Past recipients include notable organizations like American Farmland Trust, Rural Minds, and Farm Journal Foundation.

“We are deeply honored to be chosen as Curious Plot’s 2024 grant recipient,” said Rose Tryon, President of AAW. “For 50 years, American Agri-Women has been a steadfast advocate for agriculture. This partnership with Curious Plot presents an incredible opportunity for us to amplify our voice and further our impact.”

Laurie Fleck, CEO of Curious Plot, expressed her enthusiasm for supporting AAW: “By partnering with organizations like American Agri-Women, we not only give back to the community but also contribute to the sustainability of the industries we serve. Supporting women in agriculture is essential, and we’re excited to champion this cause.”

The selection of AAW as the 2024 Seed to Succeed partner followed an agency-wide vote among Curious Plot’s 115 employees. The team was particularly inspired by AAW’s mission and the potential to make a meaningful difference through this collaboration.

“I was drawn to American Agri-Women because of its focus on empowering women in agriculture,” added Fleck. “Curious Plot is eager to help AAW achieve something truly remarkable, especially as they operate on a tight budget. We believe in the importance of women in agriculture and are excited to support their efforts.”

As AAW approaches its 50th anniversary, Curious Plot will help us celebrate our accomplishments and those of our affiliates. This partnership will spotlight the achievements of women in agriculture while uniting our community and amplifying our collective voice.
