The Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) Cooperative Extension Program (CEP) Agriculture and Natural Resources (AgNR) Unit is providing a second round of mini-grants to provide financial assistance to minority landowners with short-term cash needs.

Farmer Fund Application 2022- Fillable

SFI Intake Form- Fillable 2022

CEP and AgNR realize the limited assets and challenges many minority landowners face. As a result, many have less access to emergency funding. This limited grant program will assist small farmers and producers by providing financial assistance to help overcome sustainability operation obstacles. The grant is eligible for farmers in Wharton & Austin County.

The number of grants is limited, so we urge qualified applicants to apply immediately. These grants do not require repayment.

“We have a unique opportunity to make a small difference in the lives of so many landowners,” said Clarence Bunch, Ph.D., CEP Agriculture and National Resources Program Leader. Applications will be received, ranked, and funded on a first come, first served basis.

For those who participated in round 1 of this program, your application will be automatically considered for round 2.

The deadline to submit Farmers Fund Applications and Small Farm Institute Intake forms is November 15, 2022 at 5pm.
