Farm Angels Ltd
About
Farm Angels Ltd is a national charity established in 2014 (originally as Drought Angels) that provides emergency and ongoing support to Australian primary producers affected by natural disasters including drought, flood, fire, and mouse plagues. The organization delivers financial assistance through gift cards, food hampers, care packs, and critically, mental health support via phone conversations and farm visits, with the aim of preventing farmers from abandoning their land.
Tips for Applicants
Farm Angels provides direct assistance to primary producers (farmers, graziers, fishers) impacted by natural disasters. Applications can be submitted via their website. The organization emphasizes personal support through their Angels on the Phone and Angels on the Road programs. Gift cards are prepaid Mastercards and IGA/BP gift cards with no charitable branding, allowing families dignity in accessing support. They also accept volunteers, corporate partners, and community fundraisers.
Giving Philosophy
Farm Angels operates on the belief that they are not delivering charity but expressing gratitude to farmers who sustain the nation. Their approach focuses on personalized, dignity-preserving assistance that empowers farmers to stay on their land while simultaneously supporting local rural economies. They specifically target those who would never reach out for help, breaking down barriers for a proud demographic often facing their first generation contemplating leaving farming.
