California Growing Urban Agriculture Microgrant Program

The application deadline is January 2, 2026.
Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) is distributing $10,000 urban agriculture microgrants funded by the California Department of Food & Agriculture. CAFF encourages any grower who is within 25 miles of an urban area of 50,000 or more people to apply. Community-based, for-profit, and nonprofit organizations and local governments and schools are also eligible to apply. A microgrant can provide up to $10,000 for projects that may need financial support for implementation. The microgrant program is intended to provide funding for up to one year, and projects are expected to be completed within that year.
