Course to educate Michigan food entrepreneurs about grant writing

A new course offered by Michigan State University Extension will help Michigan food and farm business owners learn more about grant writing and provide information about funding opportunities.

The Grant Writing for Farm and Food Entrepreneurs online course is free. Developed by the MSU Extension Community Food Systems team and the MSU Product Center, the course will cover the common components of grant proposals.

Participants will write a complete grant proposal outline during the course.

Current and upcoming grant opportunities for farmers and food businesses in Michigan can be found in the Funding Sources for Food-Related Businesses resource from the MSU Center for Regional Food Systems.
