Our Community ReGrant program is designed to uplift and empower changemakers like you.
Made possible by the generosity of our community, ReGrant provides financial support to women who want to offer educational workshops and meaningful gatherings that meet the needs of active farmers, ranchers, and land stewards in their home communities. Our ReGrant Initiative is a community-grown, community-led web of knowledge, leadership, and opportunity. Like pollinators in motion, this work spreads — rancher to rancher, community to community.
ReGrant Basics
One to two times each year, we open up our ReGrant application. This year we are accepting applications from July 1 to July 31, 2026. This year, Our ReGrant initiative will award six recipients $2,000 each.
We Welcome Applications From

Community members who face notable barriers to offering public workshops (e.g., limited access to funding, supplies, or other resources)

What ReGrant funds
Our ReGrant program funds women-led educational workshops and other meaningful gatherings that align with WIR’s mission:to offer tactical, accessible, hands-on learning opportunities that empower and nurture rural leaders of all generations.
