Workshop: LAND Project Grant Program

• Wednesday, February 12, 2025, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Those looking for funding for farms or food projects are invited to a hands-on workshop to support access to a new grant program aimed at supporting farmers. The workshop will take place Wednesday, February 12 from 11am-1pm. Location will be shared soon. 

This workshop is part of the Finding Funds for Farms and Food Access program of Tompkins Food Future. Please register here to let us know you are coming.

LAND (Land Access Novel Directions) Project Grant Program is intended to increase access to start-up capital, marketing activities, purchase of farmland, machinery equipment or livestock, or capital infrastructure amongst Socially and Economically Disadvantaged (SED) farmers.

There are three tiers of funding, with the first tier application due February 14th. This is right around the corner, but the application is simple and straightforward and can be completed by the time you leave the workshop.

At this workshop, we will be going over all of the tiers of funding to help prepare for:

1. applying to tier 1 ($5,000 awards) or
2. applying to future tiers of funding (up to $250,000)

We will be spending time completing the applications as well as strategizing about future applications.

The grant eligibility outline can be found here.

Bring a laptop if you have one.

We will offer a remote/Zoom option if there is interest. Please share this with anyone who might be interested and remember to register here.

Please be in touch with any questions and we hope to see some of you next week!
