Restore CA Grant
We appreciate your interest in turning bad atmospheric carbon into good soil carbon—and we’d like to help cover the cost of creating all the public benefit related to implementing practices that build healthy soil on your farm or ranch!
Begin by exploring the application and guidelines, then try out potential projects on your farm by entering your info into COMET, an online tool that models/estimates the amount of carbon removed from the atmosphere as a result of implementing a sustainable farming practice.
When you’re ready to apply, download and complete the application below; we invite you to apply by naming your price for a project. Contact your local Resource Conservation District and submit the application to Restore.
For more information about the next steps, take a look at the contract template for farmers and ranchers to receive funds. You can also take a look at the Healthy Soil Practice Guidelines from the state’s Healthy Soils Program.
Applications will be accepted March 1st - April 22, 2021 and we will announce grant recipients by June 2021. The program will fund the most effective carbon farming project, so applications will be sorted into a queue in order of total carbon removal per dollar.
If you are unable to fill out the application or require assistance, we are happy to receive submissions over the phone. Please leave us a message at (813) 575-3949 with your name, phone number, and state that you require assistance with the Restore California application.
