GRANTS AVAILABLE FOR AGRICULTURAL PROJECTS

The North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission is requesting applications from qualifying organizations that support the agricultural industry, impact rural communities, and stimulate economic development. Online applications are due March 7, 2025.

The guidelines for applying and the application can be found at tobaccotrustfund.org. Funds will be awarded in the fall of 2025 for selected projects.

“This past year was tough for our agriculture community. We anticipate that the 2025 grant awards will increase farm incomes and keep NC agribusinesses and farmers thriving,” said William H. “Bill” Teague, NCTTFC Chairman. “Applications will be accepted online for projects within North Carolina until March 7, 2025. Selected projects should expect to start in November of 2025.”

The NCTTFC was established in 2000 by the N.C. General Assembly to help members of the tobacco community including farmers, tobacco workers and related businesses. Its original funding was established through tobacco industry annual payments as a result of the Master Settlement Agreement. Funding is now appropriated through the state budget to the NCTTFC which then reviews, selects, and disperses the funds to grant projects.

Past NCTTFC projects include farmers market improvements, cost-share grant programs for farmers, commodity marketing, researching alternative crops and support of various agricultural education programs. The 2025 grant application and additional information including a list of past grants is available at  tobaccotrustfund.org.
