The Pennsylvania Farm Vitality Planning Grant Program provides Pennsylvania farmers with reimbursement grants of up to $15,000 (covering up to 75 percent of project costs) to fund professional services that help plan for the future of their farm. Administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, the program is designed to enhance the long-term vitality of Pennsylvania's farms through business planning, efficient transitions of ownership, strategic expansion, diversification of agricultural production, and building a team of financial and technical expertise as a resource for farmers. Grants support projects such as enhancing a farm's long-term success with business and management strategies, transitioning farm ownership and operation to new people (including passing ownership within the family), diversifying agricultural production with new plans, expanding or seeking financing for growth, and ensuring farms with conservation easements remain profitable and protect public investments. Eligible costs are focused on the professional services agricultural professionals provide when developing business, transition, and succession plans, and the related documents they create. Covered services include accountants, CPAs, business consultants, and financial planners (for profitability and feasibility studies, financial guidance, and preparation of income statements, cash flow statements, and balance sheets), business planning services and related business software (such as QuickBooks), appraisers (for appraisals directly related to succession), attorneys (for the preparation and filing of legal documents and setting up a new business entity with the next generation), and facilitators or mediators (to guide farm succession meetings and communication or help farm families work through succession conflicts). Ineligible costs include capital improvements of any kind (land or farm purchases, facilities, equipment, buildings, remodels, repairs and maintenance, and installation of conservation practices), conservation plans (including Ag E&S plans, Manure Management plans, and Nutrient Management plans), surveying and subdivision costs (even if related to succession), any taxes (even if related to property transfer), insurance premiums and related costs, and meals, mileage, or other travel expenses. Grants operate on a reimbursement basis: applicants must complete their approved work plan and submit documentation of paid costs before reimbursement is issued. In-kind support does not count toward the applicant's 25 percent contribution.

Purpose: The purpose of the grant is to help mitigate the impact of wolves on livestock producers in California. The Wolf-Livestock Compensation Grant Program has established three primary areas of need and compensation; direct livestock loss from wolf depredation, the use nonlethal deterrent tools, and the compensation for indirect loss or affects from wolves on livestock. Description: The Wolf-Livestock Compensation Grant Program has three “prongs”, or potential grant opportunities, for eligible applicants: direct loss compensation, nonlethal deterrent methods support, and indirect loss compensation. This grant opportunity involves the first prong, direct loss compensation, in which producers can be compensated for direct livestock loss (death, injury) due to confirmed or probable wolf depredation. Wolf depredation is determined during an investigation and documented by CDFW on a Livestock Loss Determination form. Each reported depredation incident is unique and requires a case-by-case analysis of the evidence, context, and other factors that inform the determination process. CDFW strives to conduct investigations as soon as reasonably possible to preserve physical evidence and gather information from producers and potential eyewitnesses. Wolf depredation is “confirmed” when there is physical evidence that an animal was injured or killed by a wolf and “probable” when there is sufficient evidence to suggest wolf predation (e.g., evidence of predation and evidence that wolves were likely present at the time of injury or death), but not enough evidence to confirm it. Upon issuance of compensation for a direct loss, producers will be expected to consult with the Department to evaluate and implement a deterrent strategy that may be beneficial in reducing wolf-livestock conflict. The deterrent tools and/or actions implemented as part of this strategy may be eligible for compensation under the program’s second prong, if and when sufficient funds are available.

The Hey Helen Grant is a privately funded initiative by Visionaries that invests in women entrepreneurs building impact-driven, for-profit businesses in the U.S. Each grant cycle, one founder will receive a $10,000 unrestricted cash award — designed to fuel whatever moves your business forward, whether that’s operations, growth, marketing, hiring, or infrastructure.

Nonbinary applicants assigned female at birth or who feel aligned with the intent of the grant are also welcome to apply.

The Arkansas Workforce Development Grants provide Arkansas employers with reimbursement grants of up to $250,000 to fund training programs that develop the state's workforce, reduce gaps in worker skills, and support customized technical training. Administered by the Arkansas Office of Skills Development (OSD), the program makes strategic investments in Arkansas's workforce by helping local businesses provide cutting-edge, customized employee training. The umbrella program is currently offered through four grant pathways, each designed for different training needs and business circumstances. The Grow Our Own Grant is available to Arkansas businesses with 250 or fewer employees and reimburses up to 75 percent of allowable training expenses, with maximum funding of $250,000 per quarter. The grant is designed to help small and mid-sized Arkansas employers develop and upskill their existing workforce. The Customized Technical Grant supports highly technical training that is specific to or customized for a particular industry, skill, or type of equipment. This grant reimburses up to 75 percent of allowable training expenses, with maximum funding of $250,000 per fiscal year. The Skills Gap Grant addresses the growing gap between employer workforce needs and the skills of the current workforce, and is designed to target critical skill gaps across a particular region or industry rather than any one individual business. Because awards are not typically granted to individual businesses, funding levels are determined on a case-by-case basis rather than pre-set caps. The Professional Development Grant reimburses basic professional or academic training to help equip employees for success, including skills such as leadership, conflict resolution, and Microsoft Office. This grant reimburses companies for up to 50 percent of allowable training expenses, with maximum funding of $50,000 per fiscal year.
