Other SARE Grants???
Indeed, there are others.
Travel Scholarships (up to $500) are intended to assist ag professionals and farmers explore topics in sustainable agriculture that are new to them. The goal is then for that individual to share the new information with others via outreach events, presentations, articles, etc.
Mini Grants (up to $2000) provide support for organized programs such as field days, farm tours, workshops, etc. Mini Grants may also be used to help fund on-farm research trials or demonstration plots as long as there is an associated outreach component.
Applications are accepted three times per year, in January, May, and October.
For further information about the Mini Grants and Travel Scholarships, or to apply, contact Kate Seager (612.625.8235, kseager@umn.edu), Wayne Martin (612-625-6224, marti0067@umn.edu), or visit the Minnesota SARE website.
