0 Comments

 
The Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production (UAIP) Competitive Grants Program supports a wide range of activities through two grant types, which are Planning Projects and Implementation Projects. Activities include operating community gardens and nonprofit farms, increasing food production and access in economically distressed communities, providing job training and education, and developing business plans and zoning. Priority was given to projects located in or targeting an Opportunity Zone, which is a census tract designation for low-income communities.
USDA is awarding approximately $1.14 million for three Planning Projects and approximately $1.88 million for seven Implementation Projects.
Planning Project recipients:
  • Center for Land Based Learning, California
  • City of New Haven, Connecticut
  • Feast Down East, North Carolina
Implementation Project recipients:
  • Arkansas Interfaith Power and Light, Arkansas
  • Association of Africans Living in Vermont, Vermont
  • Common Ground Producers and Growers, Kansas
  • Famicos Foundation, Ohio
  • The Greenleaf Foundation, Georgia
  • NY Sun Works, New York
  • Parkside Business & Community in Partnership, New Jersey
