How it works

An acre is sponsored for $375 (An acre is about the size of a soccer field)
The Markdale Grow Hope farmer grows the crop
Proceeds from the crop ($500* per acre) are sent to NCM Canada & the Canadian Foodgrains Bank
The funds are matched 4:1 by the Canadian government to become $2500
One sponsored acre feeds about 50 families for one month!

*estimated value of crop – actual proceeds may vary according to weather, growing conditions, harvest conditions, yield, etc.

About The Project

Grow Hope is a partnership of the Markdale Growing Project, Canadian Foodgrains Bank, and Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada.

The farmer of the Markdale growing project grows the crop. NCM Canada receives funds from donors who wish to sponsor acres to cover the Grow Hope crop costs. NCM Canada reimburses the farmer and charitable receipts are provided by NCM Canada.

GROW HOPE enables more people, churches and groups to get involved in helping end hunger by sponsoring an acre before the crop is planted. Sponsor an acre or make a donation of any amount towards crop costs (seed, planting, harvesting, etc.)

This year's crop is soybeans and the cost to plant, fertilize and harvest one acre is estimated at $375. When harvested, we anticipate a return of about $500 per acre. Matched by the Canadian Government through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, $500 becomes $2500 to feed hungry families.

Grow your donation. Grow Hope!
