Opportunity Summary:
The "Missouri Projects" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS M0 12 03) is a discretionary grant program offered through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Missouri State Office. Its main purpose is to build partnerships that strengthen and expand conservation work across Missouri while also increasing public awareness and hands-on implementation of Farm Bill conservation activities. In practical terms, the program is designed to support projects that help keep Missouri agriculture viable and productive while improving key natural resource concerns, especially water quality, soil and plant health, wildlife habitat, and other related resource enhancements.
This opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is structured as a grant (not a loan or cooperative agreement). NRCS is looking to make an estimated 15 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $1,000,000. Individual awards are expected to range from a minimum (award floor) of $10,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $500,000, which allows for both smaller targeted efforts and larger, broader-impact projects. A notable feature is that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility, which can lower barriers for organizations that have strong project ideas but limited cash match capacity.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of entity, assuming no additional limitations are specified elsewhere in the full announcement. The program is clearly partnership-oriented, so it is well-suited to entities that can collaborate with producers, local conservation groups, watershed organizations, universities, local governments, nonprofits, tribes, or other stakeholders to deliver outreach, technical assistance, demonstrations, or on-the-ground conservation implementation that aligns with NRCS priorities in Missouri.
The funding is connected to several CFDA program areas, reflecting the range of Farm Bill conservation tools and outcomes NRCS wants to advance. These include Soil and Water Conservation (10.902), Environmental Quality Incentives Program or EQIP (10.912), Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program or WHIP (10.914), Watershed Rehabilitation Program (10.916), and Conservation Stewardship Program or CSP (10.924). While each of those programs has its own typical focus, collectively they point to projects that improve agricultural and environmental outcomes such as reduced runoff and nutrient losses, improved soil function and resilience, better grazing and crop management, habitat enhancement, and watershed-scale improvements, including rehabilitation of watershed infrastructure where applicable.
The posting and creation date for the announcement is April 23, 2012. The opportunity uses multiple submission deadlines, with three closing dates: May 30, 2012 (first deadline), July 3, 2012 (second deadline), and August 31, 2012 (third deadline). The notice also states that applications received after May 30, 2012 are subject to availability of funds, which signals that earlier submission is strongly advantageous because funds could be committed as awards are made. The archive date is August 31, 2012, aligning with the final deadline.
For applicants who need help accessing the full announcement or have administrative questions, the listed contact is James Crossley, Contract Specialist/Grant Administrator, reachable by phone at 573-876-0906.
