About this opportunity
The Farm Business Management and Benchmarking (FBMB) Competitive Grants Program, offered by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), provides funding to improve farm management knowledge and skills of agricultural producers. The program aims to maintain and expand a national, publicly available farm financial management database called FINBIN. Eligible applicants include state agricultural experiment stations, colleges, universities, research institutions, federal agencies, private organizations, and individuals. Projects must address at least one program objective (maintaining/expanding the database or establishing outreach-based educational programs) and one strategy (advancing data collection, expanding cooperation, providing training, improving profitability, or improving producers' management abilities). Applications are due by February 20, 2025, and will be evaluated based on their potential impact, technical merit, and qualifications of the project team.
The program has approximately $2 million in total funding available, with two grant types offered: Standard Grants up to $450,000 for 12-36 months, and Planning Grants up to $50,000 for 12 months. Projects must begin on September 1, 2025, with end dates varying by grant duration. The work will be performed nationally, as the program aims to enhance the profitability and competitiveness of small and medium-sized farms and ranches across different agricultural regions.
