Agriculture grants with open deadlines

38 currently open · refreshed daily

USDA dominates this category: beginning-farmer programs, specialty crops, rural cooperative development, conservation innovation, and local food systems. Farm nonprofits, cooperative development centers, and agricultural education groups apply directly; many programs also fund individual producers. USDA's regional structure means your state or county office can legitimately help you scope an application — a free resource most applicants never use. Open listings below, refreshed daily from grants.gov.
