CDA's Urban Agriculture Microgrant Program is designed to support small-scale projects that help urban producers build a more resilient and sustainable local food system. This microgrant aims to support projects that:
-
Expand urban production;
-
Implement conservation practices;
-
Educate community members;
-
Address common challenges faced by urban producers.
Grant awards may not exceed $5,000.00 for a single entity application, and grants are paid on a reimbursement basis. The program is part of CDA's broader Urban Agriculture program, which focuses on supporting agricultural producers in and around Colorado's communities as they work to create local food systems and networks.
