BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada is inviting Canadians to come together once again as nominations open for Growing Home with BASF for 2026. Returning for its fourth year, this impactful community program is designed to empower Canada’s agriculture community to support the organizations that strengthen the fabric of rural Canada and make a difference in their hometown.

Last year, thousands of Canadians nominated and voted for local organizations that are dedicated to helping rural communities flourish, including childcare services, agricultural societies, hospital foundations and more.

“The momentum behind the program over the past four years demonstrates just how important these organizations are to the communities they call home,” said Andrea McConnell, senior manager, customer solutions for BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada. “Last year’s finalists showed how diverse the impact of this program can be, from supporting the development of a new school playground to helping fund the purchase of a new MRI machine for a local hospital. This community-inspired initiative has allowed BASF to support people and the places that are near and dear to them. We’re extremely excited to open nominations for 2026 and to continue strengthening and investing in Canada’s farming communities.”

*From February 3–28, 2026, BASF customers in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario are invited to nominate and in turn shine a light on the organizations they believe make an impact. The winning organizations will receive a portion of the initiative’s $160,000 prize fund, which will be awarded to 12 organizations across three prize levels:

• 4 x First Place: $25,000
•  
• 4 x Second Place: $10,000
•  
• 4 x Third Place: $5,000

*Voting will be open between March 31–April 17, 2026, to all individuals who reside in Canada, to determine which of the finalist organizations will receive the first-, second- and third-place prizes from each province. Winners will be announced on April 28, 2026.
