SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2501 

Program was created through the 1990 

Farm Bill to assist socially 

disadvantaged farmers, ranchers, and 

foresters, who have historically 

experienced limited access to USDA 

loans, grants, training, and technical 

assistance. The 2014 Farm Bill 

expanded the program’s reach to assist 

veterans. 

Under this program, grants are 

awarded to higher education 

institutions and nonprofit and 

community-based organizations to 

extend USDA’s engagement efforts in 

these communities. Projects funded 

under the 2501 Program include but are 

not limited to conferences, workshops, 

and demonstrations on various farming 

techniques, and connecting underserved 

farmers and ranchers to USDA local 

officials to increase awareness of 

USDA’s programs and services while 

filling the needs for increased 

partnerships. Since 2010, the 2501 

program has awarded 533 grants totaling 

more than $138 million.

Deputy Director, Office of Partnerships and 

Public Engagement.
