Silver Wood Creations LLC received a $325,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Rural Energy for America Program (CFDA 10.868), awarded on September 8, 2025.

The awardee is required to maintain all financial records and supporting documentation for a minimum of three years following final disbursement to support program compliance and audit requirements.
