Award economics. The award range on file is $5,000 -- $50,000. The agency has projected $4.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 60 awards.

Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources, factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on January 10, 2025. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements.

Please see upcoming webinars for more information. Introduction to the RFA, Nov 5 - https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_3-JYEJEyTkq4ySEIwb6gTQ Submitting a Complete Grant Package, Nov 6 - https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_KqjKRZ03SMahpFOpZCkPgw The Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant Program is designed to increase the availability of local foods in schools and connect students to the sources of their food through education, taste tests, school gardens, field trips, and local food sourcing for school meals. Grants can launch new farm to school programs or expand existing efforts. The objective of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Farm to School Turnkey grants is to simplify the proposal-writing process by providing pre-designed activities to simplify applications for frequently proposed farm to school projects. However, it is important for all prospective applicants to read the RFA in full to ensure that they understand all submission requirements. There are three Turnkey Grant project tracks available in FY 2025: Action Planning, Agricultural Education, and Edible Gardens. Applicants may only apply to one project track. The project types are summarized as follows: Turnkey – Action Planning grantees will develop a roadmap for launching or enhancing farm to school activities. Turnkey – Agricultural Education grantees will incorporate agricultural education into curricula. Turnkey – Edible Gardens grantees will implement a food production operation. All applicants must demonstrate a commitment to one or more federal Child Nutrition Program(s). The FY 2025 Farm to School Turnkey Grant awards projects of 24 months in length for funding up to $50,000. Applicants are required to provide matching support of at least 25 percent of the total project budget in the form of cash or in-kind contributions. Eligible applicants for the Turnkey Grant may include schools and other institutions that operate Child Nutrition Programs, Indian Tribal Organizations, agricultural producers or groups of agricultural producers, non-profit entities, and local agencies. This RFA is one of three funding opportunities being offered under the Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant Program in FY 2025. Please see the RFA Grant Track Decision Document under the “Related Documents” tab for this opportunity in grants.gov for more information on the different grant types.
