Farm Grant Literacy Workshop Thursday, January 23, 2025 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Online Event GRANT MONEY FOR YOUR FARM? IT'S POSSIBLE! THIS WORKSHOP WILL SHOW YOU HOW!Are you planning to invest in projects like farm worker housing, irrigation systems, storage facilities, packing facilities, cideries, craft beverage production, cooling and refrigeration, renewable/clean energy, or greenhouses in the future? Would you like to build them at a 50% discount? It's possible with a farm grant!Grants are an attractive funding alternative to commercial lending that are available to farmers from federal, state, local and private sources. But grants aren't available for every project, nor are they "free" in the sense that you have to do nothing. And finding appropriate grants and deciphering grant requirements can be challenging.This free online workshop will help you identify and evaluate grant opportunities for your farm. The program consists of six online sessions that will increase awareness of farm grant opportunities and build skills needed to target suitable grants. Participants will learn how to identify components of a project plan that may qualify for a grant, research available grant opportunities, understand selection criteria and grant requirements, and choose the best funding opportunity for their project. The first three sessions will build skills needed to identify suitable grant opportunities. The remaining sessions consist of three virtual panel discussions with speakers from federal, state, county, and private funders providing grants to farmers. Panelists will offer insight into funding priorities and tips on making successful proposals. Farmers who have received federal, state, local or private grants will also be included in each session; these folks will describe their personal experience with the grant application and post-award management.As a result of participating in the workshop, you will:Identify sources of federal, state, local and private farm grantsLearn about the types of projects for which grant funding is availableLearn to navigate grant portals and register for announcements about new grant opportunitiesUnderstand request for proposalsIdentify the requirements of a grant opportunityDetermine if a grant opportunity is a good match for your farmWorkshop Schedule, start time 12pmJanuary 16, 2025January 23, 2025January 30, 2025February 13, 2025February 20, 2025February 27, 2025HOST: Bonnie Nelsen PhD, Business Management Specialist, LOFP Free to you (this program is based upon work supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number 2023-70027-40447 from the USDA’s Northeast Risk Management Education Center) Registration: https://lof.cce.cornell.edu/event.php?id=2003 ========================================= Cultivate Success with Better Bookkeeping Virtual Series Thursday, January 30, 2025 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Online Event Join us for a six-session virtual series designed to boost your knowledge about what bookkeeping services are available to help you excel in farm recordkeeping.Each session takes place from 12:00 P.M. - 1:00 P.M. via Zoom.
