Fighting Fund

The Farmers' Fighting Fund is a fund to help farmers fight for their rights.

Fighting a modern legal battle is expensive. The fund was established with the intention to invest pledges and use the interest for legal battles. We encourage farmers to donate to the fund because:

  • Farmers cannot afford to fight government alone.
  • Individual farmers cannot afford to fight local bodies.
  • Farmers can no longer afford to fight well resourced 'conservation' and lobby groups.
  • Individual farmers cannot take on these fights, but the Farmers' Fighting Fund can.

Applications

Applications can be made directly to the Farmers' Fighting Fund at PO Box 715, Wellington.

Applications must include:

  • An outline of the case being taken, highlighting the precedent setting nature and wider implications of the case.
  • A detailed project budget and cash flow of expected expenditure stating what the applicant requests as a grant.
  • Detailed mechanisms for monitoring expenditure and progress.
  • Further financial exposure that may result.
  • Whether there are alternate sources of finance or other resources to co-sponsor the project.
  • A project timetable.
  • How results will be available for analysis to determine compliance with stated objectives.
