Farm to School Grants

Posted by on March 10, 2014

Would you like a grant to plan, implement, or sustain a farm or garden at your school? Then, look what’s available for the Farm to School Grants. Applications are due on April 30, 2014.

The purpose of the USDA Farm to School Grant Program is to assist eligible entities in implementing farm to school programs that improve access to local foods in eligible schools. On an annual basis, USDA awards up to $5 million in competitive grants for training, supporting operations, planning, purchasing equipment, developing school gardens, developing partnerships, and implementing farm to school programs. New in FY 2015, USDA will make approximately an additional $500,000 available to eligible entities to support conferences, trainings, and events focused on farm to school program development.
