All proposals must be submitted via the Amplifund system on or before 4 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025. Applications are not being accepted through mail, email, or fax. Proposals received after the deadline will not be considered. 

Applicants must be Non-Profit Organizations working in conjunction with the farming community. Eligible applicants can apply for grants ranging from $15,000 to $100,000 for operations or infrastructure needs through Sept. 30, 2026.
