SUMMARY:USDA Funding: Climate Smart Commodities (Funding Pool #2)
DESCRIPTION:USDA to Invest $1 Billion in Climate Smart Commodities\, Expanding Markets\, Strengthening Rural America\nThe U.S. Department of Agriculture is delivering on its promise to expand markets by investing $1 billion in partnerships to support America’s climate-smart farmers\, ranchers and forest landowners. The new Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities opportunity will finance pilot projects that create market opportunities for U.S. agricultural and forestry products that use climate-smart practices and include innovative\, cost-effective ways to measure and verify greenhouse gas benefits. USDA is now accepting project applications for fiscal year 2022. \n“America’s farmers\, ranchers\, and forest owners are leading the way in implementing climate-smart solutions across their operations\,” said Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) State Conservationist Tom Watson in Montana. “Through Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities\, USDA will provide targeted funding to meet national and global demand and expand market opportunities for climate-smart commodities to increase the competitive advantage of American producers. We want a broad array of agriculture and forestry to see themselves in this effort\, including small and historically underserved producers as well as early adopters.” \nFor the purposes of this funding opportunity\, a climate-smart commodity is defined as an agricultural commodity that is produced using agricultural (farming\, ranching or forestry) practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions or sequester carbon. \nFunding will be provided to partners through the USDA’s Commodity Credit Corporation for pilot projects to provide incentives to producers and landowners to: \n\nImplement climate-smart production practices\, activities\, and systems on working lands.\nMeasure/quantify\, monitor and verify the carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits associated with those practices.\nDevelop markets and promote the resulting climate-smart commodities.\n\nHow to Apply\nThe primary applicant must be an entity\, not an individual. A range of public and private entities may apply\, including: \n\nCounty\, city or township governments\nSpecial district governments\nState governments\nSmall businesses\nFor profit organizations other than small businesses\nNative American tribal governments (Federally recognized)\nNative American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments)\nNonprofits having a 501(c)(3) (other than institutions of higher education)\nNonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) (other than institutions of higher education)\nPrivate institutions of higher education\, or\nPublic and State-controlled institutions of higher education.\n\nFunding will be provided in two funding pools\, and applicants must submit their applications via Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on: \n\nApril 8\, 2022\, for the first funding pool (proposals from $5 million to $100 million)\, and\nMay 27\, 2022\, for the second funding pool (proposals from $250\,000 to $4\,999\,999).\n\nProposals must provide plans to: \n\nPilot implementation of climate-smart agriculture and/or forestry practices on a large-scale\, including meaningful involvement of small and/or historically underserved producers.\nQuantify\, monitor\, report and verify climate results.\nDevelop markets and promote climate-smart commodities generated as a result of project activities.\n\nUSDA is committed to equity in program delivery and is specifically seeking proposals from entities serving all types of producers\, including small or historically underserved producers. Providing sufficient incentives to encourage producer participation and generating both verifiable greenhouse gas reduction and carbon sequestration benefits are critical to project success and will be considered in the evaluation criteria. \nMore Information\nVisit usda.gov/climate-smart-commodities for additional information\, including details on Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities and resources to support your application. Get more information from a virtual meeting hosted Wednesday\, Feb. 16\, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET. This webinar will focus on the details of the funding opportunity.

SUMMARY:NACD 2021 Urban Agriculture Conservation Grants
DESCRIPTION:NACD 2021 Urban Agriculture Conservation Grants\nNACD is accepting applications for their Urban Agriculture Conservation (UAC) Grants\, and CDs from states in the Northern Plains region (which includes Montana!) are especially encouraged to apply. NACD wants CDs/communities from all regions to benefit from this funding\, and so far CDs located in these regions have received the smallest percentage of UAC grants. \nAdditionally\, NACD launched a new UAC grant option this year. CDs may still apply for the traditional UAC implementation grants (up to $50K)\, and NACD added a second planning grant option. Planning grants (up to $10K) are for CDs in early stages of exploring urban/community conservation work and who could use some funding to support efforts such as developing partnerships or conducting a community needs assessment. The idea is these planning grants would position CDs to be more effective in their long-term efforts and more competitive for an eventual UAC implementation grant. \n\nMore info and the application are available on the NACD website: https://www.nacdnet.org/about-nacd/what-we-do/urban-and-community/\nRequest for proposals: https://www.nacdnet.org//srv/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/UAC-FY2022-RFP-1.pdf\nContact: Ariel Rivers\, NACD Pacific Region Rep (ariel-rivers@nacdnet.org)
