Good Morning,
Wet spring conditions are shaping up across much of the country, and that means some of you may face delayed planting windows—which can put pressure on your revenue targets for the year.

We'll walk you through what's available right now and help you figure out which programs could qualify for your operation. Check it out →

Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements Program

Calendar Year 2022 Disaster Water Grants
Rural Utilities Service
Eligible applicants are communities and entities in designated disaster zones. Since award ceilings and floors both showed zero in the data, award sizes likely vary widely or weren't set at posting time. Check with RUS to confirm who qualifies in your county.

Public bodies, nonprofits, and Federally-recognized tribes in rural disaster areas may qualify. Your project must sit in a rural area within a county that received a Presidential disaster declaration. Confirm your location and org type with your local RHS office.
