LASA Grant Grant Workshop

The LASA Grant Program is designed to strengthen the local food system in Rhode Island through grants to small and beginning producers.

The RIDEM Division of Agriculture will award between $550,000 and $600,000 in this grant round. The maximum grant award available to a farmer, individual, business (e.g., LLC) or non-profit organization is $20,000

The Northern RI Conservation District in partnership with the RI Food Policy Council, is holding an in-person event this Saturday, 11/19, at 404 Broad Street, Providence, RI, from 5:30 - 7:00 pm to assist with LASA applications. All are welcome to attend!

If you want to get ahead, we recommend you get the applicant (yourself, your business, or organizations) a DUNS number and a UEI number, both of which are required for the LASA application. It can take a few days to process and receive these numbers.
