Program provides an estimated $250,000 in grant funding to promote agricultural education each year
Each year, this program provides an estimated $250,000 in grant funding to promote agricultural education and leadership activities for students at the K-12, post-secondary, and adult education levels. Proceeds generated through the sales of specialized, agriculture-themed license plates through the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) have made this opportunity available.
Funding is available on a competitive basis for eligible agricultural education programs as well as government agencies and non-profit organizations that administer agricultural education programs. Proposals must be submitted electronically by Thursday, October 22, 2020, at 5 pm PST.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to visit the program website, https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/egov/calagplate/ for full details or contact CDFA ’s Office of Grants Administration at (916) 657-3231 orgrants@cdfa.ca.gov for additional information.
The CalAgPlate program has funded more than $1.4 million in youth educational activities since the program’s inception.
You can help support agricultural education and the CalAgPlate program by purchasing a special interest license plate at your local DMV office or online today.
