Heifer International works with hundreds of strategic partners at the local, national and global levels who share our commitment to improving the lives of farming families across Africa, Asia and the Americas.
We know from decades of experience in rural development that achieving scale and impact is built on multisectoral collaborations for comprehensive, locally led solutions.
We share the goal of ensuring that farming communities have the solidarity, skills, technologies, financing and market access they need to create profitable and sustainable agricultural enterprises that are also environmentally friendly and climate-smart.
Join us in catalyzing positive change for smallholder farming communities worldwide.
Our locally led approach is built on partnerships with farmer organizations, farmer-focused nonprofits and agricultural value chain actors. Cross-learning allows local stakeholders to strengthen their technical, managerial and market capacities and lead development initiatives.
Heifer works with local and national governments to advance policies and programs that support smallholder farmer development. We also partner with government funded bi-lateral donors to implement mission-driven projects on the ground.

Companies are key strategic partners in catalyzing market-based livelihood opportunities for farmers and sustained initiatives anchored in local economies. Through avenues such as corporate philanthropy and cause marketing, company partners also advance sustainable business goals.
Partnerships with mission-driven Foundations lead to lasting impact in rural communities, as we combine expertise, experience and resources to create opportunities and strengthen resilience.
Partnerships with multilateral development funders, as well as the U.N. and other global agencies, help leverage global resources, knowledge, and advocacy power in support of smallholder communities.
Collaborations with digital tech, fintech, research organizations, and universities make innovations accessible and affordable for smallholder farmers.
