Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) in New Jersey
 The
Conservation Innovation Grant program (CIG) is a voluntary program administered by NRCS
to stimulate the
development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and
technologies. Federal investment in environmental
enhancement and protection is leveraged in conjunction with agricultural production.
Under CIG, Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) funds are
used to award competitive grants to non-Federal governmental or
non-governmental organizations, Tribes, or individuals. The grants
require a 50-50 match between the agency and the applicant.
CIG
is offered as both a nationwide and a state program.
New Jersey announces funding opportunities for the
state component of CIG
on Grants.gov once a year after the national CIG
component is announced. The CIG State Component offers eligible entities the
opportunity to apply for grants up to $75,000 for eligible projects within the
state. Interested applicants may review the prior year funded projects and
proposal requirements to get an idea of the types of projects funded.
