The recording of the info-session for the 2026 Columbus Urban Agriculture Grant can be found on our YouTube channel.

In 2026-2027, FSWCD is partnering with Columbus City Councilmember Wyche's office to reactivate the Urban Ag Grant. This grant makes $71,000 of funding available to local growers located within the City of Columbus. Each individual organization may apply for up to $10,000 of grant funding. This grant seeks to strengthen the local food supply chain and support local farmers and is available to both for-profit and non-profit farms, including community gardens and other types of growing operations. Growing operations five (5) acres and below are eligible to apply, with additional consideration given to operations under 1 acre. Eligible uses of this grant include infrastructure that helps local farms and community gardens scale up their production and distribution, with examples including but not limited to high tunnels, water service, cold/dry storage, and market stands. Additional consideration will be given to applications that demonstrate collaboration across different organizations.
