Grant Funds Available to Retailers Carrying Missouri Grown Products

The Missouri Department of Agriculture has announced a new grant program: the Missouri Grown Retail Promotion Matching Grant. The grant awards up to $1,000 per retail location for reimbursement of expenses associated with promoting Missouri Grown member products at retail locations in Missouri.

This new funding opportunity helps promote Missouri Grown member products and is a matching grant of up to $1,000 per retail location. If you have a Missouri retail location and already sell products from at least five Missouri Grown member companies, you may be eligible to apply for the Retail Promotion Matching Grant.

The purpose of the grant is to raise awareness about products grown, raised, and produced by members of Missouri Grown. Funds may be used to support advertising and promotion of Missouri products available at the retail store location.

Eligibility and matching requirements can be found online at Missouri Department of Agriculture 2021 Retail Store Promotion Matching Grant Program. The application deadline is April 2, 2021.
