Opportunity Summary:
The Missouri Workshops and Conferences grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS MO 12 02) was a discretionary grant program offered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) through its Missouri State Office. The main purpose was to build partnerships with organizations and groups that can help NRCS expand public awareness of conservation programs and strengthen on-the-ground implementation of Farm Bill conservation activities across Missouri. In practical terms, the program was designed to fund educational events such as workshops, conferences, and trainings that would transfer usable conservation knowledge to the people most likely to apply it, including farmers, ranchers, private landowners, conservation groups, partner agencies, and interested members of the general public.
The work supported under this opportunity fell under the broader Natural Resources funding activity category and tied directly to several major NRCS and Farm Bill-related program areas. The CFDA program numbers listed in the announcement included 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). That list signals the types of conservation priorities NRCS expected applicants to address through outreach and training, such as soil health and erosion reduction, water quality protection, habitat and wildlife-focused practices, rehabilitation and stewardship of watershed infrastructure, and long-term conservation planning and adoption on working lands.
Funding for the opportunity was modest but flexible, with an estimated total program funding amount of $182,500 and an expectation of roughly 12 awards. Individual award sizes ranged from a minimum (award floor) of $1,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $90,000, which allowed for both small, targeted local training efforts and larger statewide or multi-county events. The grant did not require cost sharing or matching funds, making it more accessible for organizations that might not have discretionary cash available to meet a match requirement.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was generally open to many different types of applicants, subject to any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement. The overall intent, however, was clearly partnership-driven, so competitive proposals would typically be those that could demonstrate strong links to Missouri conservation priorities, the ability to reach key audiences, and a practical plan for delivering education that leads to real adoption of conservation practices supported by NRCS programs.
The announcement was posted and created on April 23, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 23, 2012, but it also offered two additional closing dates (June 30, 2012, and August 31, 2012). Applications submitted after May 23, 2012 were considered only if funds remained available, which implies that earlier submissions had a better chance of being funded. The opportunity was archived on August 31, 2012, indicating that the funding round is no longer active.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement or having administrative questions, the listed point of contact was James Crossley, Contract Specialist/Grants Administrator, reachable by phone at 573 876 0906.
