Donate to ASAP

Your gift keeps farmers farming. You aid us in building a farm to school movement and supporting educators. You are the key ingredient in building healthy communities through connections to local food. A gift today will create a better future for Appalachian farms and communities. 

You can set it, forget it, and we take care of the rest. A monthly gift is a bedrock gift for ASAP and positively impacts every mission-focused program we run year round. Monthly giving helps ASAP stay prepared year-round and be nimble when new, emerging needs arise. 

ASAP works with companies through strategic partnerships, corporate grants, workplace giving, and employee engagement. We strive to create opportunities that connect you and your workplace to meaningful and authentic food and farm experiences. 

Your business can sponsor ASAP’s Farm Tour, Business of Farming Conference, and/or the weekly Asheville City Market. Find out more about sponsorship to see which event aligns with your marketing goals and contact Nora Scheff, Development Director at nscheff@asapconnections.org or 828.236.1282.

Increase the impact of your gift by utilizing your company’s matching gift program. Contact your company’s HR representative to see if they have a matching gift option.

You can keep farmers farming in many ways, including a gift through stocks, bonds, or mutual funds to ASAP’s brokerage account. To make a contribution, consult with your financial advisor to begin the transfer process.

By supporting ASAP through an IRA Charitable Rollover, you can lower the income and taxes from your IRA withdrawals. The amount of the transfer from your IRA to ASAP will not be included in your taxable income and the transferred amount can count towards your required minimum distribution.

Please consider making a legacy gift to ASAP. ASAP can be named as the beneficiary of a specific amount of your estate or of specific assets.
