Opportunity Summary:
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Missouri State Office announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Soil health, Conservation Outreach, Cultural Resources, and Climate Change" (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA NRCS EQIP CTA MO 15 01). The purpose of the announcement is to build partnerships that help NRCS promote public awareness of Farm Bill conservation programs and increase on-the-ground adoption of conservation practices across Missouri. The opportunity is structured to support cooperative conservation work through either grants or cooperative agreements, with an overall emphasis on education, outreach, and partner-delivered assistance that expands the reach of NRCS programs and technical information.
The central focus of the funding is conservation outreach delivered through workshops, conferences, trainings, and similar events intended to educate Missouri's farm community and the broader conservation audience. The target groups include farmers and ranchers, private landowners, conservation organizations, cooperating agencies, and the general public. In practice, this means applicants are expected to propose outreach and training efforts that improve understanding of soil health and related conservation topics, explain how Farm Bill conservation opportunities can be used, and encourage implementation of NRCS-supported activities. While outreach is the main thrust, the announcement also includes two additional partnership tracks: one connected to cultural resources and another focused on conservation implementation associated with climate change. These components signal interest in projects that help address cultural resource considerations tied to conservation work, as well as projects that support conservation efforts responding to climate-related challenges.
The total estimated funding available under the announcement is $100,000, with an anticipated five awards. Individual awards are expected to range from $3,000 (award floor) to $50,000 (award ceiling). The funding is tied to CFDA program areas 10.902 (Soil and Water Conservation) and 10.912 (Environmental Quality Incentives Program). A cost share or matching contribution is not required, which lowers the barrier to entry for smaller organizations or local partners that may have limited non-federal funding.
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, county governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, individuals, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). More generally, NRCS indicates that eligible applicants are those capable of conducting and providing project support within Missouri, including state, local, and tribal governments, community organizations, individuals, colleges and universities, and nonprofits. Applicants interested in a multi-year agreement are allowed to propose one, but they must clearly indicate that intent on the SF-424 application forms and in their proposal materials.
Key administrative details include an original and current application closing date of July 7, 2015, a posting and creation date of May 26, 2015, and an archive date of August 6, 2015. The administering office is the Missouri State Office. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Jessica Fisk, Management Assistant, reachable by phone at 573-876-0912.
