Grant funding can make on-farm improvements more affordable. But finding, applying for, and managing grants is time-consuming.
Our collaborative pilot with Lasso reduces the cost, complexity, and time involved in the grant process. It starts with a free consultation, open to any customer who wants to discuss a potential project with Lasso, better understand the grant landscape and how grants work. Customers who are ready to move forward will receive end-to-end grant-writing services, starting with a search for publicly funded grants that best align with a planned project. As customers progress through the grant process, Lasso handles the paperwork and helps ensure grant requirements are met.
