Opportunity Summary:
The Missouri Conservation Programs Workshops and Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS MO 13 02) was a discretionary funding competition run by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Missouri State Office. Its purpose was to build partnerships with organizations and community leaders who can help increase public awareness of NRCS conservation programs and boost real-world participation in Farm Bill conservation activities across Missouri. The focus was strongly outreach-oriented: NRCS wanted to support on-the-ground education and engagement efforts that help farmers, private landowners, conservation groups, cooperating agencies, and the general public better understand conservation options and how to implement them.
Funding was offered through grants and cooperative agreements, with an estimated total of $300,000 available and an expectation of about 10 awards. Individual awards could range from a floor of $3,000 up to a ceiling of $120,000. Notably, the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make participation easier for smaller organizations or applicants with limited budgets. The activity area was categorized under natural resources, and the work was intended to complement or promote well-known Farm Bill related conservation efforts connected to several CFDA programs, including the Conservation Reserve Program, Soil and Water Conservation, Environmental Quality Incentives Program, Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program, Watershed Rehabilitation Program, and the Conservation Stewardship Program.
The kinds of projects NRCS was looking to support centered on education and capacity building, especially through workshops, conferences, and training events. In practical terms, that could include developing and delivering learning sessions for producers about conservation planning and practices, hosting multi-stakeholder meetings that connect landowners with technical assistance resources, training partner staff or local leaders who help implement conservation programs, or organizing outreach events that explain eligibility and application processes for NRCS programs. The overarching intent was to strengthen conservation delivery by making information more accessible, improving coordination among partners, and helping land managers adopt conservation practices more effectively.
Eligibility was broad and included federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, state and county governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities other than higher education institutions), and even individuals. This wide eligibility suggests NRCS was open to partnering with a range of local and regional actors, from established conservation nonprofits and universities to local governments and community-based leaders, as long as proposed activities aligned with the goal of promoting conservation program awareness and implementation.
The announcement was posted July 29, 2013, with an application deadline of August 27, 2013, and it was later archived on September 26, 2013.
