Is the maximum grant award $200,000 per agriculture operation or per application?

The maximum grant award is $200,000 per agricultural operation, which is determined by the operation’s legal business name and associated tax identification number.

Can an agricultural operation submit more than one application?

No, agricultural operations can only submit one application using a unique tax identification number. An agricultural operation is determined by its distinct legal business name and associated tax identification number provided in an application.

Can Netafim apply on behalf of the grower?

Yes, organizations may submit an application on behalf of the agricultural operation. However, the application must include the agricultural operation’s legal business name and tax identification number. If awarded, the grant agreement will be between CDFA and the agricultural operation.
