Opportunity Summary:
The Agricultural Development Program (ADP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Hawaii State Office to help revitalize the economy of the island of Molokai by strengthening locally driven agriculture. The program is centered on community-based, community-led projects that promote agricultural development in a way that matches Molokai's values and long-term priorities. In practical terms, the funding is meant to support diversified agriculture and to pair financial assistance with technical support so agricultural enterprises can become sustainable over time rather than short-lived pilot efforts.
This opportunity was posted on June 23, 2009 under Funding Opportunity Number NRCS HI 09 02 and is associated with CFDA 10.902 (Soil and Water Conservation). The application window closed on July 10, 2009, and the opportunity was later archived on August 9, 2009. The total estimated funding amount listed is $61,000, with an award floor and award ceiling both set at $61,000, which suggests the program expected to make a single award at that amount even though an "ExpectedAwards" figure of 5 is also shown in the source data. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligible applicants were broad and included county governments, state governments, city or township governments, small businesses, individuals, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. Projects proposed under this program would be expected to demonstrate a clear community-driven purpose, show how they will contribute to positive economic impact on Molokai through agricultural development and diversification, and explain how the work will remain viable in the long run through sustainable practices and appropriate technical planning.
