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

• Small Business Definitions:

• 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
