Grant Description

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) invites entities to submit competitive grant applications for projects under the Refugee Agricultural Partnership Program (RAPP). Grant applications should propose strategies that incorporate agriculture and food systems to improve the lives of refugee families. These strategies should result in sustainable and/or supplemental income, improved access to healthy foods and better nutrition, and enhanced integration into communities by refugee families. Applications should demonstrate an understanding that includes the population to be served, the needs and opportunities of a community or area, available partnerships and resources, a practical approach to achieving objectives, qualitative and quantitative outcomes, organizational capability and a budget consistent with the overall approach and anticipated results.
