Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS TX UCP 18 01
The Texas NRCS Urban Conservation Project, initiated by the NRCS Texas State Office under the USDA, aims to partner with natural resource conservation organizations to support and implement conservation efforts across Texas. This solicitation invites eligible entities—including non-profit organizations, independent school districts, higher education institutions, and federally recognized Native American tribes—to submit project proposals focused on establishing community and school gardens.
With approximately $150,000 available for grants, the initiative encourages local engagement to address challenges in urban areas, such as food insecurity, by promoting community-driven solutions.

Key objectives include providing education on natural resource conservation, addressing food deserts, creating urban gardening opportunities, and improving access to healthy food while leveraging additional non-Federal resources for effective conservation outcomes.
