FUNDING TYPE

Grant

CAN YOU GET THIS?

This is a USDA/NIFA grant for organizations delivering farm business management and benchmarking programs.

Applicants must be based in the USA and focused on farm business management education or benchmarking. The program is open to all stages and identities, suggesting nonprofits, universities, and agricultural organizations are typical applicants.

YOUR REAL ODDS

This is a competitive federal grant program with a one-time submission window.

Federal NIFA competitive grants typically receive many qualified applications; without published award counts from the source, odds are difficult to quantify, but federal agricultural grants of this size are genuinely competitive.

WHAT IT TAKES

Confirm eligibility and register on SAM.gov and grants.gov — 1-2 weeks
Develop project narrative and budget aligned with farm business management/benchmarking goals — 2-4 weeks
Submit application package via grants.gov — 1-2 days

WORTH KNOWING

This is a one-time submission cycle, not a recurring rolling application — you cannot apply at any point in the year.
