Opportunity Summary:

The Soil Health and Conservation Outreach Workshops opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS MO 14 01) was a discretionary USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Missouri State Office funding program designed to build partnerships and expand conservation outreach across Missouri. The core purpose was to support organizations that could plan and deliver conservation-focused workshops, conferences, trainings, and other educational events that increase public awareness of USDA Farm Bill conservation activities and encourage on-the-ground adoption of soil and water conservation practices. In practical terms, the program aimed to strengthen understanding and use of NRCS-supported conservation options by reaching farmers, ranchers, private landowners, conservation organizations, cooperating agencies, and the general public throughout the state.

Funding was offered through grants and cooperative agreements, with an estimated total of $50,000 available and about 10 expected awards. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $3,000 to a ceiling of $25,000, and there was no cost-share or matching requirement stated for applicants. The funding activity category was agriculture, and the opportunity aligned with multiple USDA conservation assistance programs reflected in the listed CFDA numbers: Conservation Reserve Program (10.069), Soil and Water Conservation (10.902), Environmental Quality Incentives Program (10.912), Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (10.914), Watershed Rehabilitation Program (10.916), and Conservation Stewardship Program (10.924). This signals that outreach supported under the grant could relate to a broad set of NRCS conservation priorities, including soil health, water quality, habitat, stewardship, and watershed-related efforts, as long as the work promoted awareness and implementation of Farm Bill conservation activities.

Eligibility was broad and included state, local, and federally recognized tribal governments; community organizations; individuals; colleges and universities; and nonprofit organizations, provided they were capable of conducting and supporting the proposed outreach work within Missouri. The opportunity was posted May 29, 2014, with a closing date of July 10, 2014, and it was later archived on August 9, 2014.
