A new foundation to support the grain through worldwide initiatives.
Sorghum United, Inc., Lincoln, NE, an international team working to advance the global sorghum industry, in mid-January announced the establishment of the Sorghum United Foundation, an initiative aimed at addressing global food insecurity by providing access to sustainable, drought-resistant food sources.
According to Sorghum United, the foundation is recognized as a 501(c)3 by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, which enables tax-deductible donations that will “directly support life-saving initiatives worldwide.”
The Sorghum United Foundation will focus on advancing regional projects that bring sustainable solutions to those most in need.
Key Initiatives
Key initiatives include the 2025 ‘Field to Market’ trials for sorghum and millet value chains in the Philippines, India, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and South Africa. These projects are designed to provide resilient food sources to communities facing the dual threats of food insecurity and climate change.
The foundation will also fund the growth of Sorghum United’s regional offices, enhancing its ability to deliver meaningful, sustainable impact globally.
“The creation of the Sorghum United Foundation marks a pivotal milestone in our mission to save lives and improve livelihoods through sustainable agricultural practices,” says CEO Nate Blum.
“Sorghum and millet are more than crops,” he continues, “they are lifelines for millions of people in regions that are disproportionately affected by food insecurity and climate change. Through this foundation, we are empowering individuals and organizations to take direct action in building a future where no one goes hungry.”
A Global Effort
Sorghum United represents a global community committed to transforming agricultural and food systems. The foundation expands this mission by enabling individuals and organizations worldwide to contribute to efforts that improve economic opportunities, promote sustainable farming practices, and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Every donation to the Sorghum United Foundation fuels projects that deliver real, tangible change – bringing hope and resilience to the world’s most vulnerable communities.

Sorghum United’s Mission
“Sorghum United is an international team of equal peers dedicated to the advancement of the global sorghum/sorgho/sorgo/jowar/milo/mashilla etc. industry.
“The primary goal of Sorghum United is to collaborate in creating awareness for our grain through uniform, but localizable advertising. We believe that in doing so, we will elevate sorghum in the general consumer and producer consciousness.
“The Sorghum United Campaign will help to dispel misperceptions about sorghum, while also equating the connections between differing regional and cultural nomenclatures for the crop.
“Collaboration also opens new doors for research and product development by virtue of connecting previously disconnected individuals and organizations who share the passion for climate-smart and healthy grains.
“Together, we believe we can make a difference as leaders in the challenges facing human nutrition and environmental change.”
