- WaterSMART Small-Scale Water Efficiency Projects — Deadline July 9, 2024
Federal Funding Opportunity from the Department of the Interior
The U.S. Department of the Interior’s (Department) WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America’s Resources for Tomorrow) Program provides a framework for Federal leadership and assistance to stretch and secure water supplies for future generations in support of the Department’s priorities. Through WaterSMART, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) leverages Federal and non-Federal funding to work cooperatively with States, Tribes, and local entities as they plan for and implement actions to increase water supply sustainability through investments in existing infrastructure and attention to local water conflicts.
Proposed projects that are supported by an existing water management and conservation plan, System Optimization Review, or other planning efforts led by the applicant are prioritized. This prioritization will help ensure that projects funded under this NOFO are well thought out, have public support, and have been identified as the best way to address water management concerns. Reclamation has simplified the evaluation criteria and streamlined the application process for this category of WaterSMART Grants to ensure that the process works for smaller entities. Simplified evaluation criteria are intended to provide each applicant with an opportunity to succinctly explain how the proposed project would meet a defined need identified through a prior planning effort.

- Rural Economic Development Loan & Grant Program in Missouri — Deadline Sept. 30, 2024
Federal funding opportunity from the Department of Agriculture
The Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant programs provide funding for rural projects through local utility organizations. USDA provides zero-interest loans to local utilities which they, in turn, pass through to local businesses (ultimate recipients) for projects that will create and retain employment in rural areas. The ultimate recipients repay the lending utility directly. The utility is responsible for repayment to USDA. USDA provides grants to local utility organizations which use the funding to establish Revolving Loan Funds (RLF). Loans are made from the revolving loan fund to projects that will create or retain rural jobs. When the revolving loan fund is terminated, the grant is repaid to USDA.
The local utility applies to USDA for funding support on behalf of specified local projects. Projects may begin after the submission of an application, but there is no guarantee of approval. If approved, USDA will then issue funds to the local utility for the specified project. Eligible projects include: Business incubators, and community development assistance to nonprofits and public bodies (particularly for job creation or enhancement). Facilities and equipment to educate and train rural residents to help economic development. Facilities and equipment for medical care for rural residents. Start-up venture costs, including, but not limited to, financing fixed assets such as real estate, buildings, equipment, or working capital. Business expansion and technical assistance.
Eligibility: Current Rural Utilities Service (RUS), electric or telecommunication borrower. Any former RUS borrower that has repaid or prepaid an insured, direct or guaranteed loan under the Rural Electrification Act. A not-for-profit utility that is eligible to receive an insured or direct loan under such Act.
