Absolutely! While some grants are tailored to for-profit businesses, many agricultural grants are open to anyone that qualifies as a farmer or rancher. This means a backyard garden may qualify! If you own livestock (Chicken, horse, cow, goat, etc.) you may qualify! If you own forested land you may qualify!

We maintain an Idaho specific database with more than 75 Federal, State, and private grant opportunities! These can generally be divided into two categories: Environmental Improvements focusing on operational improvements and resource conservation and Enterprise Support focused on development of new business enterprises and products.

Everson consulting provides individual grant funding consultation, creative and inventive grant matching along with support for the entire project from inception to implementation!

I utilize a hybrid project-based + contingency fee structure where I charge for grant preparation, guidance, and submission in addition to a pre-determined contingency fee. This allows me to share some of the risk with the client and pushes me to provide the best guidance possible!

Anyone can write a grant but it takes significant time and knowledge to do it well and minimize wasted time. All competitive grants have unique ranking structures that can be difficult to understand. I take the time to research the grant criteria and tailor your application to maximize the chance for approval!

Grant matching is a unique process where together we identify and define your objectives then I search to find grants that match your needs. I detail how well they fit your objectives, the complexity of the application process, the chance for success, and how well they can stack with other grants! This is all packaged and delivered in an actionable and easy to read report.

I spent nearly 15 years working with for the USDA implementing farm and ranch grant programs. While my specialty is federal agricultural grants, I have also worked with state and private entities to help clients secure grant funding.

It depends, but a good estimate is 4-6 months minimum. The overall project scope and complexity really determine how long it will take to secure a grant. If there are multiple stakeholders or public involvement required, it can take even longer. I’d love to sugarcoat it and says it’s a quick process, but securing hundreds of thousands in funding requires a solid foundation and detailed planning.

I pride myself on my ability to scale services to support individual clients with backyard farms or large entities with multiple stakeholders. I work with for-profit businesses, public entities (Irrigation districts, grazing associations, etc.) as well as non-profits and individual clients with no business structure.
