IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Regarding Water Quality Funding Grants

The Vermont Farm & Forest Viability Program, a program of the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board, has Water Quality grant funds available for farmers to complete capital improvement projects. We will have two application rounds in the coming year, with deadlines of:

- Friday, November 8, 2019

- Friday, February 7, 2020

Eligible farmers can apply for $5,000 to $40,000 in water quality grant funds for projects which help farmers improve water quality, and are open to any Vermont farm who meets our eligibility criteria. Matching funds are required and may include federal or state grants as well as farmer cash, loans, and labor.

Application materials will be available on our website by late summer at www.vhcb.org/wqg
