Donor Spotlight on the Bayer USA Foundation

America’s Grow-a-Row is grateful to the Bayer Foundation for funding the installation of electricity at our farm in Alexandria Township, New Jersey. Partnering with community leaders and providing philanthropic support have long been a part of Bayer Corporation’s culture.   The Bayer USA Foundation is an endowed 501(c)(3) entity with a programmatic focus on education and workforce development, and environment and sustainability. Its mission is to support programs that enhance the quality of life, provide unique and enriching opportunities that connect diverse groups and ensure preparedness for tomorrow’s leaders — thereby, resulting in sustainable partnerships that continually improve communities in which Bayer employees live and work.   The addition of electricity at our Alexandria Township farm will allow us to operate the pump of our well so that we have access to water for irrigating crops. The well will provide a constant water source and eliminate the risk of crop loss due to lack of rain and will afford us the ability to plant on all 110 tillable acres of our farm over the course of the next several years. We thank the Bayer Foundation for its generous support of America’s Grow-a-Row.
