Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS GA MULTI 23 NOFO0001245
The Georgia NRCS Technical Outreach and Education opportunity for Fiscal Year 2023 is a discretionary grant program run by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Georgia. Its main purpose is to build partnerships with organizations that can help NRCS expand outreach and education about USDA-NRCS programs across the state. In practical terms, the funding is meant to support efforts that help producers, landowners, and other eligible audiences better understand NRCS conservation assistance, how to access it, and how conservation practices can be applied locally. All proposed projects must be carried out in Georgia, and the focus is on collaboration with "likeminded" conservation partners who can extend NRCS's reach into communities.
NRCS released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO) before final FY 2023 funding decisions were fully settled, meaning the final amount available could shift depending on continuing resolutions or an appropriations act. Even so, NRCS anticipated approximately $1.5 million would be available in total for this solicitation. Individual awards have an expected ceiling of $100,000, and NRCS expected to make about 15 awards. Projects can be proposed as single-year or multi-year efforts, with agreements typically lasting between 1 and 3 years.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible. This includes state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Tribal governments and other Tribal organizations; public housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit entities (other than small businesses); and small businesses. The NFO makes clear that applications will be reviewed first for completeness and compliance with the notice requirements. Applications that are incomplete or do not follow the instructions can be removed from consideration, and applicants will be notified if their submission is eliminated for those reasons. NRCS also states that the Georgia State Conservationist retains discretion and may decide not to fund some or even all submissions.
Applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov, and the deadline was 11:59 pm Eastern Time on April 17, 2023. The agency emphasized that Grants.gov account or system issues must be handled through Grants.gov Applicant Support rather than NRCS staff, providing both a phone number (1-800-518-4726) and an email address (support@grants.gov). For questions about the content of the NFO itself, applicants were directed to the federal awarding agency contact listed in the NFO (Section G), with the note that questions should be limited to clarifying items already in the announcement, like dates or apparent discrepancies. Questions about whether an applicant is eligible or whether a specific project idea is strong were not something the agency would address in advance.
NRCS projected an internal timeline in which selections would be made by May 5, 2023, with awards executed by July 31, 2023, while also noting those dates were estimates and could change. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 10.902, with the activity category labeled Agriculture, and it appears in Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS GA MULTI 23 NOFO0001245. Overall, the grant is structured as a partnership-driven outreach and education effort: modestly sized awards intended to support on-the-ground communication, training, and engagement work that increases awareness and participation in NRCS conservation programs statewide.Apply for USDA NRCS GA MULTI 23 NOFO0001245
