Some tips on determining if you're eligible for grants under USDA's renewable energy grant program:

  • Small Business Definitions:
    http://www.sba.gov/size/sizetable2002.html

  • Are you in a rural area? Any area other than a city or town with population over 50,000. Cannot be an urbanized area adjacent to such a city or town.

  • Deadline: Applications must be postmarked by June 27, 2005. Otherwise, they will be returned immediately.

  • Residential projects are NOT eligible. Program is for farms, ranches and businesses.

  • Non-profits are NOT eligible.

When in doubt, check with your state renewable energy coordinator: www.rurdev.usda.gov/rbs/farmbill/contacts.htm

More info at www.rurdev.usda.gov/rbs/farmbill/who_is.html.
