Socially Disadvantaged Groups Grant: The Rural Business-Cooperative Service announces the availability of $3,000,000 in competitive grant funds for the FY 2016 Socially-Disadvantaged Groups Grant (SDGG) program, formerly known as the Small Socially-Disadvantaged Producer Grant program, as authorized by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016 (Pub. L. 114–113). We are requesting proposals from applicants who will provide technical assistance to socially-disadvantaged groups in rural areas.
