The Oregon Farm to CNP Education Grant is a competitive grant which eligible participants can apply for to teach Oregon students about Oregon grown & processed food. Typical projects include activities such as tasting tables, classroom instruction, farm field trips, video lesson production, etc.

The 2025-2027 Education Grant is live! Please subscribe to the mailing list for updates.

The 2025-2027 Education Grant has a total allocation of $3 million and will continue to have two distinct funding tracks:

• Mini Grant ($2,000-$14,999). Intended for smaller, starter projects - perfect for a school garden start-up or other basic projects.  This portion of the grant will be capped at $750,000 statewide.  If total requests fall under this amount, awards will be made without scoring, provided the proposed expenses are reasonable and allowable.  If requests exceed $750,000, applications will be scored to determine awards. Mini Grants are awarded before Full Grants.

• Capacity Sustaining Full Grant ($15,000-$100,000). Designed for larger projects that may be single-site, district-wide, multi-site, or statewide coordination efforts with broader impact.  Applicants must have demonstrated capacity for managing grants over $25,000.
