PROVIDENCE – The R.I. Department of Environmental Management is accepting applications for the Local Agriculture and Seafood Act grants program, which offers grants to assist small or beginning farmers markets and promote the sale of Rhode Island-grown agricultural products and local seafood.
Nonprofit entities, along with small or beginning farmers, are eligible to apply for the grants. The grants program is aimed at increasing the economic competitiveness of Rhode Island-grown agricultural products and local seafood.
According to DEM, the grants program is made possible by $100,000 in state funding that Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee and the General Assembly included in the DEM budget, and an additional $130,000 in matching funds from the van Beuren Charitable Foundation, the Henry P. Kendall Foundation and the Rhode Island Foundation.
Grant awards will be capped at $20,000, with no direct match required.
Applications must be received via email no later than 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 17 and sent to LASA@dem.ri.gov in Word format. •
