Mini-grants
The purpose of the mini-grant program is to develop the skills and competencies
of agricultural professionals. Agricultural professionals include extension educators,
Natural Resource Conservation Service Staff, state and federal agency workers
and educators in the profit and not-for-profit sectors serving the food and fiber
system.
Mini-grant activities are to build educator expertise, develop new curriculum
or programming, implement innovative educational approaches and create an opportunity
for learning and skill development of the agricultural professional.
Applications are to include producers, agency staff, not-for-profit organizations
and other local stakeholders in planning, creating and delivering any mini-grant
outreach activities.
The intended outcome of the mini-grant program is to develop the knowledge
and skills of the agricultural professional. Applicants are required to explain
how any mini-grant activities will contribute to their professional development
and/or the professional development of other educators.
Competitive grants of up to $5,000 are available. Applications should be submitted six to eight weeks prior to any mini-grant funded outreach activities and are due by the 15th of each month.
