Georgia NRCS Technical Outreach and Education for Fiscal Year 2021

The Georgia NRCS, an agency under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is seeking support from and opportunities to partner with likeminded natural resource conservation partners. The overall intent of this solicitation is to solicit partnerships to help provide outreach and education on USDA-NRCS programs. More specifically, the objective of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO) is to solicit proposals for outreach and education geared toward multiple audiences that informs participants about NRCS conservation technical assistance and available opportunities through Farm Bill programs. Education may include information on how certain programs or practices can benefit various agricultural operations, assistance on how to apply for programs, or general outreach and education to promote NRCS services and programs. The goal is to use novel, innovative approaches to reach new populations of potential participants, especially historically underserved producers, Veteran farmers or ranchers or community-based organizations comprised of or representing these entities.
