WSARE Competitive Grants

The SARE competitive grants program supports agricultural systems that are profitable, environmentally sounds and that sustain a high quality of life in rural communities.

    The Western SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education) program encourages proposals that support outcome and impact driven research and education.

    Research & Education Program

    Ranging from $20,000 to $200,000 or more, these grants fund projects that usually involve scientists, producers, and others in an interdisciplinary approach.

    Professional Development Grants

    To spread the knowledge about sustainable concepts and practices, these projects educate Cooperative Extension Service staff and other ag professionals.

    Producer Grants

    Individual farmers may apply for up to $10,000 and a group of three or more farmers may apply for up to $20,000. Producers use their grants to conduct on-site experiments that can be shared with other producers. Projects may also focus on marketing and organic production.

    Other grant opportunities

    Graduate students, community development practitioners, and ag educators conducting on-farm research can apply for grants in some SARE regions.
