We work closely with qualified solar companies and business owners around the country to help them write and submit high quality USDA REAP Grants of all sizes. We are working on the 12/31/24 deadline now. The USDA just announced another $600MM per year for this program for the next three years (2025-2027).

HARD STOPS
THE USDA REAP GRANTS ARE NOT FOR:
Individuals, non-profits, starting a business, farming, agricultural applications, buying buildings, fixing roofs, or anything other than creating energy (usually solar). Also, I typically do not do EEI or Loan Applications. If you do not own the property, there must be a 25 year lease to the grant applicant. The grants will not buy property or houses or land.
ATTENTION SOLAR DEVELOPERS & EPCs
We will happily work with you as well. We currently work with a dozen solar developers around the country.
ANY RURAL BUSINESS QUALIFIES.
(See the Address Lookup Video Below)
Send me your address and I will look it up for you and tell you about the grant elibility as well as the tax credit “adders” you may qualify for.
Ask us about container farming and camping/glamping/storage and RV parking solutions we have.

Whew! What a great quarter for writing grants and we made the deadline on all of them… here’s a list of some of the grants we wrote. We are NOT hearing that the money has run out, so that’s a good thing for anyone that wishes to submit in the next quarter. We are starting to believe that this program WILL be continued, however, now is the time to submit.
Grant Applications We Wrote:
A water bottling company in Puerto Rico.
A soil amendment company in Colorado.
A glamping facility in Oklahoma.
A KOA in the Florida Panhandle.
A vodka distillery in NY.
An office building in Georgia.
A winery in Central Florida.

All in all a very good quarter. Although most of the jobs were $1MM+, make a note that a few of the jobs were less than $200,000 so we had a reduced paperwork burden.

You might be wondering how I got projects in the different states. In the prior quarter I created a referral program and it is paying off for me, and for my referrers. If you send me a referral that is accepted into the grant program you get paid handsomely.

Now is the time to let me know you want to apply this final quarter. Thanks to everyone and I look forward to hearing from you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
WHAT ARE MY ODDS? We have not heard that the USDA has run out of money. Yes, it is getting more competitive. Don’t spend your last dollar on this, but certainly you should submit if you are a profitable company.
HOW MUCH OF MY TIME DOES IT TAKE? We have this down to a science. It usually takes less than 1 hour of your time to gather the information that we need for the grant. (See the next item).
WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU NEED FOR THE GRANT? Click here to see our Paperwork Master at Dropbox that lists what we need. It is very easy to understand.
HOW DO YOU CHARGE? We charge a modest fee to write the grant and we do NOT ask for a success percentage. We ask for half payment up front and half payment when submission and receipt occur. Our prices go up on 11/15 simply to encourage people to beat the rush. It was crazy during the last deadline in September.
