Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS GA MULTI 21 NOFO0001054
The Georgia NRCS Technical Outreach and Education for Fiscal Year 2021 opportunity is a competitive discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Georgia. It is designed to build partnerships with organizations that can help NRCS expand awareness and understanding of its conservation technical assistance and Farm Bill conservation programs. The core purpose is not to fund on-the-ground conservation construction or cost-share directly, but to support outreach and education activities that help more producers and community partners learn what NRCS offers, why it matters, and how to participate.
The solicitation seeks project proposals that deliver education and outreach to multiple audiences across Georgia, with an emphasis on explaining NRCS services and program opportunities in clear, practical terms. Activities can include informing producers about how conservation programs and practices may benefit different types of agricultural operations, walking potential applicants through eligibility and application steps, and providing general outreach that increases visibility and use of NRCS programs. A central theme of the notice is reaching people who may not traditionally engage with NRCS, using approaches that are new, creative, and likely to connect with communities that standard outreach efforts might miss.
A priority focus is placed on expanding participation among historically underserved producers, Veteran farmers and ranchers, and community-based organizations that are made up of or represent those groups. In practice, this means proposals are expected to show thoughtful strategies for meeting audiences where they are, removing information barriers, and communicating in ways that are culturally relevant and accessible. The opportunity encourages applicants to bring innovative methods, partnerships, and communication channels that can broaden NRCS program awareness and participation beyond the usual networks.
Eligible applicants cover a wide range of public and private entities, reflecting the partnership-driven intent of the program. Eligible organizations include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category). This broad eligibility allows NRCS to work with extension-type partners, conservation groups, educational institutions, and local or tribal entities that already have trusted relationships with agricultural and rural communities.
The award structure indicates a modest, outreach-oriented grant size. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $100,000, and NRCS anticipated making about 10 awards under this notice. The funding activity aligns with agriculture, environment, and natural resources, and is associated with CFDA numbers 10.902, 10.912, and 10.924, which correspond to NRCS assistance and conservation-related program authorities.
Key dates and submission requirements are clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on January 12, 2021, with an application deadline of February 12, 2021. Applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date. Questions about the notice could be submitted until January 29, 2021, and NRCS planned to post responses on Grants.gov roughly two weeks before the application deadline, giving applicants time to incorporate clarifications into their proposals.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at organizations that can serve as effective messengers and conveners for NRCS in Georgia, translating conservation program information into actionable guidance for producers and community partners. Successful projects would be expected to demonstrate a credible plan to educate diverse audiences, increase awareness of NRCS technical assistance and Farm Bill conservation options, and measurably improve engagement among underserved and Veteran producer communities through creative, partner-driven outreach.Apply for USDA NRCS GA MULTI 21 NOFO0001054
