“CDFA is accepting proposals for the 2024 California Agriculture Special Interest License Plate (CalAgPlate) grant program. This program anticipates an estimated $180,000 in grant funding to promote agricultural education and leadership activities for students at the K-12, post-secondary, and adult education levels.

Proceeds generated through the sales of specialized, agriculture-themed license plates through the California Department of Motor Vehicles have made this opportunity available.

Funding is available on a competitive basis for state-adopted Agricultural Education Programs (Education Code Section 52450-52454), government agencies, and non-profit organizations that administer agricultural education programs. The application deadline is Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. PT.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to visit the program’s website www.cdfa.ca.gov/calagplate for detailed application instructions.

The CalAgPlate program has funded more than $2.3 million in youth educational activities since the program’s inception. You can help support agricultural education and the CalAgPlate program by purchasing a special interest license plate at your local DMV office or online today.”
