Grant Writing For Farmers Workshop
October 2 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
Are you interested in trying out a new idea on your farm?
Have you thought about applying for a grant but weren’t sure where to start?
On Friday, September 20th and Wednesday, October 2nd UW-Madison Extension will host webinars to introduce farmers and agricultural professionals to grant opportunities in agriculture. Both webinars will start at 11:30am and run an hour, with an additional half hour at the end for questions.
The September 20th webinar will feature Michael Fields Agricultural Institute grants advisor Wren Almitra, who will cover how to design a good grant project and where to look for funding, as well as the basics of writing a grant proposal. The October 2nd webinar will provide a brief overview of the main grant programs for Wisconsin farmers and food entrepreneurs. Programs covered will include USDA’s Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Farmer-Rancher grants; USDA’s Value-Added Producer Grants (VAPG); and Wisconsin Department of Agriculture’s Buy Local Buy Wisconsin (BLBW) Grants, Specialty Crop Block Grants (SCBG) and Producer-Led Watershed Protection Grants (PLWPG).
