NOTICE
To expedite distribution of Fiscal Year 2025 NIFA grant funds for the AgrAbility program, some processes for this FY have changed. This program will not issue a NOFO in FY25. Funds will be distributed to existing projects or previously peer reviewed and meritorious but unfunded proposals. NIFA will issue an NOFO in FY26 upon receipt of appropriations.
To receive NOFO notifications as they post, please sign up for NIFA Funding Opportunities. To see open NOFOs in a weekly batch, please subscribe to NIFA Update.
The AgrAbility program increases the likelihood that farmers, ranchers, farm workers and farm family members with disabilities will experience success in agricultural production. The program supports projects between State Cooperative Extension System and private, non-profit disability organizations who work in partnership to provide agricultural education and assistance directed at accommodating disability in farm operations for individuals with disabilities, and their families, who engage in farming and farm-related occupations.
The NOFO announcement and technical assistance webinar related to this FY 2023 funding opportunity will be held soon. Please visit again for more information.
