Endowment Fund

To combat the effects of the climate crisis on our food systems, we grow and nurture an endowment fund which, through long-term funding, secures key collections of crop diversity in genebanks worldwide.

The Crop Diversity Endowment Fund provides a sustainable, long-term financing mechanism for the important work of protecting crop diversity in perpetuity. The Crop Trust invests its money in a diversified range of low-risk financial instruments to generate sufficient returns for this purpose.
