29th Common Fund Call for Proposals
Thriving Farmers, Resilient Ecosystems, Empowered Communities
At the Common Fund for Commodities (CFC), we invest in transformative, high-impact projects that empower smallholders and strengthen the communities they sustain. Our goal is to align commercial success with environmental regeneration and social inclusion — enabling farmers to access high-value markets, adopt climate-smart practices, add value locally, and protect biodiversity.
We envision value chains where technology empowers people, SMEs thrive, and the prosperity they create flows equitably to smallholders, workers, and their communities. When local enterprises grow, so too should the income, dignity, and resilience of those who cultivate the land and nurture our shared ecosystems.
The Common Fund for Commodities welcomes funding applications from all of its 101 member countries. You can find the list of CFC member countries in the link here.
Who should apply?
The CFC welcomes applications from SMEs, cooperatives, social enterprises, NGOs, and public or private sector entities that are based or have active operations in one of the 101 CFC member countries, with projects that enhance smallholder livelihoods and drive inclusive local development.
