Agriculture grant questions

What USDA grants can nonprofits apply for?

Some USDA and agriculture-related grants allow nonprofit applicants, while others require producers, universities, or public partners. Check eligibility on each listing.

Do agriculture grants require a project budget?

Yes. Most applications need a clear budget, and awarded funds should be tracked separately from unrestricted operating dollars.
