Section 138f.1 - Program objectives

(a) Through the awarding of grants and the placing of conditions upon how grant moneys are to be spent, the Program will fund projects which will increase knowledge and awareness of agricultural issues and other issues specific to rural areas within this Commonwealth. This educational effort will be directed at the youth of this Commonwealth. Grants will be awarded to agricultural and rural youth organizations.

(b) The Grant Program is competitive. Grant requests and related documentation will be received by the Department and reviewed by the Board, which will recommend approval or rejection of each eligible grant request. If the Board recommends approval of a particular eligible grant request, the Secretary will then have final authority to approve or reject the request or modify the terms under which the grant will be awarded. The total amount of grant moneys awarded annually will not exceed $150,000 the first year. The amount of grant moneys awarded each year thereafter will be determined by the Board, depending on the availability of funds.
