How REFA connects developers with the voice of rural landowners
Every renewable energy project depends on trust. The difference between a project that moves forward and one that stalls often comes down to landowner confidence and community relationships.
The Renewable Energy Farmers of America (REFA) helps bridge that connection. By bringing together farmers and ranchers who are considering or already hosting renewable energy projects, REFA ensures that landowners approach development discussions informed, confident and supported by facts.
That same foundation guides our partnerships. Developers, farm suppliers and mission-aligned organizations can partner with REFA to connect directly with renewable energy landowners through a respected, farmer-led organization. Partnerships provide visibility across REFA’s digital and educational channels, positioning companies as credible voices in responsible renewable energy development.
Real Access. Real Engagement.
Each partnership tier offers distinct opportunities to connect, share expertise and demonstrate leadership with landowners:
- Basic Partners build visibility and credibility within REFA’s trusted network. They receive recognition on REFA’s website and social channels, the opportunity to share insights in one newsletter each year and a complimentary registration to attend the annual meeting. It is an ideal way to stay informed, engaged and visible among landowners and industry peers.
- Supporting Partners take the next step by expanding their digital and educational presence among the REFA audience. Through hosting one webinar per year, contributing thought-leadership content to the REFA website and featuring banner ads in two newsletter issues, these partners reach landowners through multiple touchpoints. Supporting Partners gain broader exposure while demonstrating an active commitment to education and transparent development practices.
- Premier Partners experience the highest level of collaboration and influence. This partnership provides a premium presence across REFA’s channels, including speaking opportunities at the annual meeting and webinars, co-hosting regional member events and participating in the Renewable Ready Communities program, our peer-to-peer networking. Premier Partners also gain exclusive access to strategic discussions and early engagement opportunities, positioning them as leaders in landowner relations and community trust.
Advancing Shared Goals
REFA’s mission is to empower farmers and ranchers with reliable information, peer connections and advocacy rooted in fairness and respect for private ownership.
Our partners make that mission possible. Together, we’re fostering informed, cooperative relationships between landowners and developers, ensuring that trust is at the foundation of every discussion.
