Corporate and Foundation Donors
The SFA partners with corporations and foundations that believe in our mission of documenting, studying, and exploring the diverse food cultures of the changing American South. SFA programming and projects do not serve as blatant promotional vehicles for products or services, but as intersections for the exchange of ideas and the formulation of relationships. To inquire about becoming a corporate or foundation donor, email us at claire@southernfoodways.org or contact SFA Foundation Representative Nikki Neely at nlneely@olemiss.edu.
