Yorkshire Agricultural Society Grants for Individuals

Small grants from the Yorkshire Agricultural Society to help individuals with their career in agriculture and their personal development, such as attending training courses, seminars or a major UK conference. The application must show how the grant helps the Society's charitable objectives for farming, food and the countryside. Funding is modest: the Society's average grant is under £2,000. A committee decides three times a year.
