Outreach for Socially
Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Grant
Program
For more than 30
years, and in partnership with organizations nationwide, the 2501 Program
has helped reach underserved farmers and ranchers. The 2014 Farm Bill
expanded the program to include assistance to veteran farmers and ranchers.
The 2018 Farm Bill increased mandatory funding for the program through
fiscal year 2024. With 2501 funding, organizations conduct education,
training, farming demonstrations, and conferences on farming and
agribusiness.
Since 2010, the
2501 Program has continued to increase access to USDA’s programs and
services and awarded 615 grants totaling more than $194
million. Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations,
community-based organizations, and a range of higher education
institutions.
Applications
must be submitted through grants.gov and received by Friday,
July 5, 2024. Visit the 2501 Program page for more information on
the 2501 funding opportunity.
