The New York Soil Health Initiative invites you to apply for a mini-grant! This mini-grant program supports soil health related projects, activities, and travel within New York State. The goal is to assist in expanding soil health research, education, and awareness to communities across NYS.
Interested applicants should submit a mini-grant application for either a project or a travel grant.
Eligibility
Farmers, extension personnel, technical service providers, and organizations working with the agricultural community. Must be based in New York.
Terms
Funds are for New York-based projects, activities, or travel (entirely within the state). Funds can used to leverage existing project support that is aimed at either soil health research, extension, or outreach activities. Projects are intended to benefit multiple stakeholders and have an educational component. While projects and activities that support commercial agriculture producers are preferred, community garden projects will be considered.
