This workshop is all about helping farmers and growers access funding through the Microgrants Program. Participants will learn who is eligible, how to apply, and what makes a strong application. We'll also walk through budgeting basics and examples of how microgrants can support urban agriculture projects. A Q&A session with program staff will be held during lunch to answer specific questions and provide guidance.
