The National Farm Viability Grant supports farmers and ranchers across the United States by providing direct financial assistance to strengthen operations and help farms and ranches remain resilient, viable, and well-positioned for the future.

Grants will be awarded in amounts up to $10,000 per project. A project may involve one or more individual farmers or farm families. Only one grant can be awarded per farmer/farm family.

Funding for this program is limited. As funding remains, awards will be made on an ongoing basis to eligible applicants who fulfill all application requirements and meet selection criteria.

Land tenure (ownership, a lease, license, or other written agreement) for a reasonable time period will be required for projects that involve on-the-ground improvements to farmland. If tenure is less than five years, please be prepared to demonstrate in the application that the tenure is sufficient in relation to the improvements being made or services being provided.

• Eligible project types include professional services, equipment, or infrastructure toward:
• Pursuing secure land tenure, farmland acquisition, land transfer or succession planning
• Implementing regenerative farming practices
• Improving business operations and financial stability
