The NWRM RFBC Idaho team is offering grants between $3,000 and $15,000 that are designed to support small to mid-scale Idaho food and farm businesses, and to get locally produced food into local markets by strengthening food supply chains. This is the first of two rounds in the Idaho Business Builder grant program. A total of $100,000 will be awarded in this round, with an anticipated 7 to 15 awards being granted.
Your Idaho-based farm, ranch, or value-added food business may be eligible for this program. The NWRM Business Builder grants are designed for farms and ranches in Idaho, and non-farm food businesses that are (1) located in Idaho and (2) sourcing from local or regional producers, defined as within Idaho or 450 miles of their business. Entities must benefit at least two entities in the local food system, and must identify as one or more of the following:
- Farm, ranch, and fish/seafood businesses
- Value-added food businesses
- Food processors, aggregators, and distributors
