Grants of $5,000 to USA, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands farmers and ranchers to build and expand new and existing businesses. Eligible applicants are between the ages of 18-40 years old. Applicants from BIPOC backgrounds are encouraged to apply, as well as female-identifying, non-binary, and trans applicants. The goal of the program is to provide a flexible financial boost to young farmers building long-term careers in agriculture.
This fund can be used for anything that will further your goals as a farmer, even if that means just getting started. The goal of this fund is to provide financial assistance for any cost that currently limits your ability to start, run, or grow your operation in the way you’d like.
Grant funding may support completing a project, purchasing a new piece of equipment, covering operating costs such as seeds and compost, building new infrastructure, attending a farmer training program or conference, hiring additional farm labor, or covering personal finances that stand in the way of farm success, including but not limited to childcare, housing, or student loan payments. Funds, once awarded, may be used to match other grant opportunities.
