The Logan County Farm Bureau announces that the 2024 Logan County Agriculture Impact Fund grants and mini grant applications are now available.
The grant program was created from proceeds earned through the Logan County Farm Bureau Agriculture Impact Fund Reverse Raffle event hosted each year.
The purpose of the Impact Fund is to support projects and events that will expand and grow agriculture’s footprint in the county and encourage youth development in agriculture. Grants will be offered to any organization, classroom or program in Logan County that promotes the well-being and enrichment of youth involved in our county’s agriculture community.
The fund’s grant applications are evaluated competitively and funds awarded must be for projects completed by Nov. 30, 2025. The grant projects must be over $500 in order to apply.
In addition, the Logan County Farm Bureau also announces the expansion of the mini-grant program into the fall. The program is available to organizations, classrooms, or clubs that teach agriculture concepts and are involved in youth development.
These grants are capped at $500, and the county will award four projects this cycle.
Mini-Grant and Grant Timeline:
• All submissions may begin after Oct. 1.
• Grant Applications will be due Nov. 1.
• Mini-Grant Applications are due Nov. 15.
• Upon submission, grants will go through two review committees. All grant recipients will be notified by Dec. 1 regarding their applications.
“The goal and hope of our program is to award as many projects as we can to see agriculture’s footprint expand in the county. In the previous seven years of the program, the county was able to award over $65,000 in grant dollars for agriculture projects in our county,” Senior Organization Director Jill Smith said.
“We hope you will share this opportunity within your organizations and schools so we can have a robust and creative set of applications. “
Applications are available at the Farm Bureau website at www.ofbf.org/counties/logan.
