Funding Opportunities

The Center for Farmland Policy Innovation at Ohio State University has issued a request for proposals focusing on community-based agricultural economic development. The center expects to allot mini grants in the range of $1000 to $10,000 per project. Primary applicants for this funding, available through the center's Farmland Protection Partnership Program, must be a governing body of an Ohio county, township or municipality, or a nonprofit organization. Proposals must include a minimum 50 percent local match to the amount requested from the center.
