Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS SC EQIP 19 GEN0010301
This grant opportunity, titled "South Carolina urban communities" (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA NRCS SC EQIP 19 GEN0010301), is a discretionary funding competition offered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) through its South Carolina State Office. The agency is targeting support toward urban communities in South Carolina, with a clear emphasis on strengthening education, economic outcomes, and conservation practices for producers growing organic and naturally grown crops. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected recipient should expect ongoing involvement and coordination with NRCS rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
The core project goal is to deliver and evaluate educational programming for urban producers. Specifically, the awardee is expected to run educational workshops that reach at least 95 urban organic and naturally grown producers located in South Carolina metropolitan cities. The project must include at least one educational workshop per year in each targeted urban city, and it is not only about hosting events but also about evaluating those workshops, suggesting that participant outcomes, attendance, feedback, and measurable changes in knowledge or adoption of practices are important deliverables. The focus areas named in the announcement include education, economic considerations for producers, and conservation practices tied to organic and naturally grown production systems in urban settings.
NRCS set aside a total of $150,000 to support one project over a three-year period, indicating the expected scale is a single statewide partner effort rather than multiple smaller awards. The notice anticipates one award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $150,000, so applicants should structure their project design and budget to fit a three-year timeline and demonstrate the ability to cover multiple metropolitan areas while meeting the minimum workshop and participant targets.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized tribal governments, state and local units of government, non-governmental organizations, and institutions of higher education. The listing also notes "Others" with a pointer to additional eligibility details in the full notice, but the main intent is to draw applicants with the capacity to plan and deliver technical training, coordinate with urban agricultural communities, and carry out credible evaluation. As with many federal opportunities, applications are screened first for completeness and compliance with the requirements in the notice. Any application that is incomplete or does not follow the stated rules is removed from consideration, and the applicant is notified of the elimination, so formatting, required forms, and submission procedures matter.
The opportunity falls under the Agriculture and Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 10.912. The funding opportunity was created on June 26, 2019, with an original closing date of July 25, 2019. Applications had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on July 25, 2019, which underscores that this was a time-specific competitive cycle and that on-time receipt (not just postmarking) was required.Apply for USDA NRCS SC EQIP 19 GEN0010301
