Farming Club Coalition Membership Agreement

By Donating and Paying Dues I Agree to the Following

Roles and Responsibilities of FCC. FCC will accept fees from farming clubs participating in the coalition. In exchange for fees, FCCs will provide assistance to independent farming clubs in a variety of ways, including;

• Templates of key documents, such as membership agreements, club handbooks, marketing materials, and budgets,
• Access to a network of club leaders to share and learn from,
• Training on methods to communicate with novice farmers and effectively teach them practical skills,
• Grant-funding strategy discussions, and access to apply for FCC grants (as funding allows).

Roles and Responsibilities of Members

• Commit to forming or joining a farming club,
• Freely share their own modifications of FCC templates with other member farms, 
• Promote FCC events to your club members,
• Accept that being on a farm and engaging in farming activities comes with risk. 

Membership Fees

• Membership fees are required annually and are intended to cover the costs of administration. Fees to be part of the FCC are $60 per club.

Liability Waiver

• Members acknowledge that being a member in the FCC carries certain risks, including the possibility of injury by any farming activities members decide to engage in. There are also risks associated with creating your own Farming Club, which is independent of the Farming Club Coalition. By paying dues, Members agree to assume all risks associated with participation on their own farms and independent Farming Clubs.
• Members release FCC and its fiscal sponsor, Post Carbon Institute, from any liability related to injury, loss, or damage incurred while participating in voluntary activities or utilizing templates, or suggested farming, administrative, or management techniques.
