The Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP) is now open for applications. The grant application deadline is 11:59:59 p.m. (MST) Monday, March 17, 2025. All applications must be submitted online.

According to Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA), in order to qualify, “projects must enhance specialty crop industry competitiveness. Applications for grant funds should show how the project potentially impacts and produces measurable outcomes for the specialty crop industry and/or the public rather than a single organization, institution, or individual.”

The AZDA anticipates that approximately $1.25 million will be available for distribution to successful applicants in the fiscal year 2025 funding cycle.

There will be a virtual webinar workshop held via Zoom Friday, Feb. 21, 2025 to provide more information. Sign up through SCBGP 2025 Webinar Registration.
