Conservation Innovation Grants

Updated 05/20/09

State Component

The purpose of the State Component is to provide flexibility to NRCS State Conservationists to target Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) funds to smaller projects, within their state, that may possess promising innovations, but may not compete well on the larger scale of the national competition. The CIG State Component was first piloted in fiscal year (FY) 2005. Since its inception, over 32 States have participated in the State Component funding 311 projects for over $17 million.

State CIG competitions are announced through public notices, separate from the national competition. State competitions have a lower funding ceiling and may have unique application requirements and submission deadlines.
