Programs are available for new and existing businesses, young and beginning farmers, watermen, commercial fishermen, landowners, and agribusiness owners. Grant programs help farmers, agribusiness owners, and local governments obtain commercial financing and qualify for federal, state, or county government grant opportunities, with a focus on innovation, diversification, and emerging market opportunities in food and fiber production and rural agritourism. Loan programs cover a broad range of financing needs including farmland purchase, livestock processing, vineyards, hopyards, orchards, seafood, aquaculture, urban farming, working capital, commercial fishing boats, agricultural equipment, equine operations, dairy, and forestry equipment. Loans range from $10,000 to $650,000 for most programs (up to $2.5 million depending on the program) and must generally be fully collateralized. Specialty loan programs include the Maryland Shellfish Aquaculture Financing Fund Program and the Rural Business Energy Efficiency Improvement Loan Fund. Some programs have regional restrictions: the Southern Maryland Agricultural Revolving Loan Fund is limited to Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George's, and St. Mary's Counties; the Upper Shore Regional Council Farm Incentive Fund is limited to Cecil, Kent, and Queen Anne's Counties. MARBIDCO works cooperatively with commercial banks, Farm Credit Associations, USDA Farm Service Agency, and other partners to deliver financing.","funding":{"details":"Between $10,000 and $650,000","minAwardAmount":{"amount":"10000.00","currency":"USD"},"maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"650000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"71e7655b-c33d-5b90-8e1c-25cac947dbbe","name":"Maryland Agricultural and Resource-Based Industry Development Corporation","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"fa6a60ca-e700-4270-ad6b-8f05ddfaf86e","allIds":[{"id":"fa6a60ca-e700-4270-ad6b-8f05ddfaf86e","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MARBIDCO"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"See individual programs for application deadlines; check www.marbidco.org for open grants"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://marbidco.org/grant-programs/","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"email":"info@marbidco.org","phone":"410-267-6807"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Maryland farmers, agribusiness owners, young and beginning farmers, watermen, commercial fishermen, landowners, local governments, forestry and wood products businesses, shellfish aquaculturists, seafood processors, large animal veterinarians, and small and urban farmers seeking low-cost financing and grant support.
