October 29, 2021 – Get excited! The Southern Region of the USDA Forest Service has developed a Regional Grants Calendar, which will provide the public and partners access to funding opportunities they might otherwise not be able to access from online searches!

The Grant Calendar will provide U.S. Forest Service staff, partners, and the public access to the latest funding opportunities. It will also offer forest-related topics, including climate change, habitat restoration, outdoor experiences, recreation, open space conservation, historic preservation, environmental education, and community outreach.
Some grant opportunities are open year-round, with no specific due date. Some grant opportunities have multiple application deadlines throughout the year. The calendar reflects the deadline for applications with links to the organizations’ websites for more information. Questions about specific grant opportunities should be directed to the organization offering the funding.
“After learning of the Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest development of a Grants Calendar, I thought we need something similar. So, after enlisting the help of Jason Holifield, a Mount Adams Vets Work Environment Intern, to develop a similar calendar, he took the challenge and ran,” according to Juliana DeFriese, Sub-Regional Volunteer and Service Program Specialist (GA/SC), USDA Southern Region.
Jason Holifield participated in the research and development of the calendar and coordinated efforts and communication between all parties. “It took a great deal of coordination and was a team approach with many hands in the creation and execution of the calendar. Thanks to everyone whose effort you will soon be able to see on the Southern Regional Grant Calendar,” said Jason Holifield.
Thank you for taking the time to read about this new tool, and if you have any grants you would like posted, please contact Jules DeFriese at Juliana.Defriese@usda.gov.
The Southern Region of the Forest Service is a dynamic collection of lands that encompasses 13 states and Puerto Rico: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
