The fund is administered by a Rackham Foundation Board of Governors, whose philosophy is to provide seed funding for researchers so they may position themselves to seek and obtain external funding to continue and/or expand their research. The Rackham fund is in the third and final year of funding four research projects. A new three-year cycle of funding will be initiated on July 1, 2007 at a maximum funding level of $25,000 per project per year, for up to three years. Currently there are no restrictions on how this money is used for research, but the funding level has been established to include the cost of fringe benefits if it is used for an assistantship.

Organic Farming Research Foundation

OFRF funds research into organic farming and food systems and dissemination of research results to organic farmers and to growers interested in making the transition to organic production systems. Projects should involve farmers in both design and execution and take place on working organic farms whenever possible and appropriate. OFRF may support innovative educational grants that reach or benefit a significant number of organic farmers and ranchers.
We encourage modest proposals. The average grant awarded in the past two cycles was around $8,000. OFRF will not fund a project for more than $15,000 per year. Matching funds from other sources and/or in-kind contributions from cooperators are encouraged but not required. OFRF will only fund one year of a multi-year project at a time. An interim report and new application are required for the Board to consider funding each subsequent year.
OFRF is particularly interested in supporting research that is not only relevant to, but takes place in, certified organic systems. OFRF does not normally fund studies that have, as a primary objective, comparisons of conventional with organic systems.
