Farm to School Grant Program

Posted by on April 30, 2012

The USDA released a Request for Applications for the Farm to School Grant Program. The RFA is posted on grants.gov and the USDA Farm to School website. Two kinds of grants are available: (1) a Planning grant is intended primarily for K-12 school food authorities who participate in the National School Lunch or Breakfast Programs that are beginning Farm to School. (2) an Implementation grant is geared towards advancing already existing Farm to School initiatives.  K-12 school food authorities, state and local agencies, Indian tribal organizations, agricultural producers or groups of agricultural producers and non-profit entities working in partnership with school districts, may apply for implementation grants. Applications are due June 15, 2012 and awards are expected to be made in October 2012.  Two webinars will be offered to inform applicants about this grant opportunity.  The first wil be on Tuesday, May 15th at 1:00 PM (EST) for Implementation grants and on Thursday, May 17th at 1:00 PM (EST) for Planning grants information. Visit the USDA Farm to School website for more details.
