Culver's Thank You Farmers Project Reaches $6.5 Million in Donations

USAgNet - 12/20/2024

Culver's Thank You Farmers Project is celebrating another impactful year of its mission to support and secure the future of agriculture, officially passing $6.5 million in total donations since its creation. With the help of outstanding guest participation in national and local fundraising efforts, the restaurant chain raised a record $1.5 million to benefit the program in 2024.

Founded in 2013 and funded by generous guest contributions, the Thank You Farmers Project directly supports people and organizations engaging in climate-smart agricultural efforts that produce nutritious food. The program benefits local organizations in Culver's communities, as well as national organizations such as the National FFA Organization and U.S. Farmers and Ranchers in Action (USFRA).

"We're proud to be a part of the movement to advance the future of agriculture, and that's only made possible through the help of our incredible guests," said Alison Demmer, Culver's senior marketing and public relations manager. "We're grateful for the generous support our guests showed this year for the Thank You Farmers Project and for the hardworking farmers pushing the industry forward."

Through the Thank You Farmers Project, Culver's aims to show its gratitude to farmers and others working in agriculture, advance climate-smart agriculture initiatives and fund agricultural education programs in collaboration with the National FFA Organization.

In 2024, Culver's undertook a variety of efforts to meet these goals and raise a record-breaking total:

The tenth annual Scoops of Thanks Day offered guests the opportunity to get a single scoop of Fresh Frozen Custard in exchange for a $1 donation to local FFA chapters and other agricultural education organizations. Guests donated $169,457 in the fundraiser in 2024.
