    Hello, I currently have a Farm or ECE grant. Unfortunately, we cannot apply for a third year. Does anyone know of any national funding? We are a private nonprofit, so we rely on grants for this additional programming.

    Hi Patrice! Major bummer that you're losing that funding :(   Have you checked out the Funding Opps library here in the Community yet? There are some national and regional grants listed in there with varying grant award amounts. Do you mind sharing with us how much funding you're seeking (in the hundreds of dollars range, the thousands, or the tens of thousands)? And what you're seeking funding for (e.g. staffing costs, supplies, large infrastructure purchases, etc.)?

    Hi Amelia. I have received 25,000 a year for the past two years. So I am looking for around that amount to keep our program going.
    I would explore all options, however.
    Thank you
