Producer groups, organizations, and associations, as well as state and/or local organizations, academia, and other specialty crops stakeholders are eligible to apply with projects lasting from approximately January 1, 2024 to November 15, 2025, either as single entities or in combined efforts.
Proposals submitted by individual producers must demonstrate that the potential impact of the project will accrue to a broader group of similar producers, region or industry segment. Projects may not solely benefit individuals, individual operations, or individual companies or businesses.
All projects must solely enhance the competitiveness of Colorado specialty crops.
Terms
As a change from last year, applicants for FFY23 SCBGP may provide a cash and/or in-kind matching contribution. This may increase the competitiveness of the application during the review process.
