AMS LAMP Grant Toolkits & Application Support Page

Interested in learning more about the Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP) opportunities? The resources below are designed to help guide interested applicants through the different AMS LAMP grants and the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). These materials help potential grantees understand the application process and how these grants can support their work.

How to use AMS LAMP Grant Toolkits: 
Snapshot documents provide high-level overviews and introduce key AMS LAMP application topics. Deep Dive documents offer more detailed guidance for those ready to begin drafting an application. We recommend starting with the Snapshot documents, then moving to the Deep Dives as your understanding deepens.  

Begin with Determine What Grant Is Right for You to learn about each grant type. Then use the resources in Learn More & Apply the Details to prepare specific sections of your application. Finally, review the checklists in Official Documents & Final Touches to ensure all required elements are complete before submission.

Determine What Grant is Right for You 
Prior to filling out an application, decide which grant aligns with your project goals, learn more about the NOFO, and get started on important steps required to apply for federal funding.
