Organizational Sponsorships
As a small nonprofit, CGA works to keep our programming accessible so that farmers, small businesses, educators, and others across our network can participate regardless of their budget. Event registration alone does not cover the cost of bringing this gathering together—and that’s intentional.
Partner with CGA to support events, education, and programs that uplift the regional grain community and promote equitable market access.
