Microgrants
Current and Upcoming Microgrant Opportunities
We are helping to build the Colorado Grain Chain by supporting infrastructure growth and market development. Over the next few years, we will be offering microgrants aimed at supporting the cultivation of water wise grains, increasing food access, and strengthening our regional grain processing and distribution infrastructure.

Colorado Grain Chain Organic Microgrants (2024-2026)
In January 2024, we received an Organic Market Development Grant (OMDG) through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). With that funding, we distributed six $5,000 microgrants each year that focused on different parts of the Colorado organic grain supply chain. This program helped to enhance market opportunities for producers, processors, and value-added product makers of organic grains for human consumption.
