Stomping Grounds Opens Nominations
Winnipeg, MB – ADAMA Canada is now accepting project nominations for up to $10,000 in funding from its Stomping Grounds community investment initiative. Through the initiative, the company will be investing a total of $150,000 in projects that build community, boost well-being, and spark hometown pride.
From now until Jan. 31, 2026, individuals and organizations can apply to receive support for projects such as rinks and playgrounds, child/senior care centres, agricultural education and community programs that strengthen the fabric of rural communities across Canada.
“We often live and work in the same communities we support,” says Jodi Starodub, Marketing Lead at ADAMA Canada. “Without the tireless efforts of local volunteers and organizers, many of these projects wouldn’t be possible. It’s a privilege to help turn big dreams into reality through Stomping Grounds.”
INVESTING IN LOCAL FOOD SECURITY
Last year, Valley Food Bank in Woodstock, NB was facing a growing challenge of meeting the needs of the communities it serves when Stomping Grounds was brought to their attention by one of their community partners.
“Initiatives like (Stomping Grounds) are so important because they let us keep necessities stocked, things like fruits and veggies, meats and bread. They help keep our pantry full,” said Monica Grant, Executive Director of Valley Food Bank, after she received word they had been selected for a $5,000 investment.
Gavin Lunn, Area Business Manager with ADAMA Canada, visited the organization to deliver the “cheque” and learned that in addition to the food bank, it also works with schools in the area to provide breakfast for students.
“Standing there in the Valley Food Bank, it was a bit of a full circle moment for me,” said Lunn. “My job is to make sure farmers have what they need to grow our food, and then I got to be on the other end, helping deliver it to some of those that need it most.”
Starodub says it’s stories like this that keep the ADAMA team passionate about Stomping Grounds.
“Every year, since starting Stomping Grounds, we are overwhelmed by the incredible projects that are nominated to our selection committee,” she said. “Rural communities are the heartbeat of our country and we are so incredibly proud to help where we can.”
Since launching in 2023, Stomping Grounds has contributed $240,000 to over 40 community projects. Visit adama.com to learn more about Stomping Grounds supported projects or nominate a project for 2026. Selected projects will be announced in February 2026.
