We apologize for any time you may have spent preparing a grant application for this year’s award. USDA and TDA offer several programs and resources that can assist schools, child care centers, and summer sites that would like to begin or have already begun implementing Farm Fresh funding. Many grants renew each year so if it appears that a deadline has passed; it is possible that funding will be available for the upcoming year.
