The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI), in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Virgin Islands Department of Agriculture, is offering several upcoming trainings (virtual and in-person) to explain the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure (RFSI) Program grant application process.
CFVI, through a cooperative agreement, is working with the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) under the RFSI Program to offer over $1.5 million in competitive grant funding for projects designed to build resilience across the middle of the supply chain. Both the Infrastructure and Equipment Only applications will be covered during the trainings. The deadline to apply is Dec. 20, 2024.
The workshops are designed to guide potential grantees through the application process and will provide step-by-step instructions, tips for writing a project narrative, and an overview of eligibility requirements.
