Program Details

USDA is a funding organization that offers the USDA Community Facilities Loans & Grants grant program to support eligible programs and projects. This funding opportunity is available nationally and is administered by USDA through Nebraska Library Commission. Organizations seeking funding for eligible programs and projects should review the details below and confirm their eligibility before preparing an application.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants include government agencies and municipalities, tribal governments and Native American organizations, and educational institutions. Organizations that meet the eligibility criteria are encouraged to apply and to review the full program guidelines before submission. Because eligibility rules and funding priorities can change between cycles, applicants should always confirm the current requirements with USDA or on Nebraska Library Commission before investing time in an application.

Funding and Timeline

This is a rolling or open-cycle opportunity with no fixed application deadline. Applicants should allow sufficient time to gather required documentation, including organizational information, project descriptions, budgets, and supporting materials as specified in the program guidelines. Submitting a complete application well ahead of the deadline reduces the risk of disqualification on technical or administrative grounds.

Program Focus

This grant supports eligible programs and projects. Funded projects are expected to demonstrate measurable outcomes aligned with the program's stated objectives. Grant recipients may be required to submit progress reports and final evaluations as a condition of the award, and to retain records for audit and compliance purposes.
