Grant for Education, Community Outreach and Literacy in Agriculture in Nevada (USA)
GrantID: 60443
Grant Funding Amount Low: $100
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $1,000
Summary
This funding opportunity is designed to support education, community outreach and literacy in agriculture – helping students, educators and communities better understand food-, fiber- and fuel-systems and their connections to science, environment and career pathways. It is available across the United States (various states and counties) and is open to nonprofit organizations, educational institutions (including K-12 schools) and teacher-led projects. In some cases county-level farm bureau or partner organizations are eligible as well.
The funds may be used to launch or enhance programs that bring hands-on agricultural experiences into the classroom, create literacy resources or kits for young learners, host community events focused on agriculture, or help educators purchase materials and guides that support ag-themed learning. The goal is to increase awareness of agriculture’s many facets — from production science to sustainability, from career readiness to environmental impact — and reach students, teachers and community members who may not have had access to such resources before.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit educational groups, school districts or classroom teachers, and partner county or state agricultural organizations. Small businesses are typically not the primary audience unless they are partnering in an educational capacity. The grants are available nationwide, though some local-level awards may focus on specific counties or state branches. Award sizes vary depending on the scope of the project — smaller classroom-resource grants, larger project grants for outreach or event-based initiatives.
The review cycle is annual for many of the grants: applications open once each year, with recipients notified and funded within the same cycle. If you’re an educator or nonprofit with an idea to expand agricultural literacy—whether through student kits, interactive events or teaching materials—this is an opportunity worth exploring.
