The USDA Rural Energy for America Program provides guaranteed loan financing and grant funding to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for renewable energy systems or to make energy efficiency improvements. Agricultural producers can also apply for new energy-efficient equipment and new system loans for agricultural production and processing. Applications for the REAP program are accepted year-round. 

Since 2020 Realizing Rural has provided grant writing and project management services to rural communities across ND with the mission of shifting the rural narrative from surviving to thriving. Now, thanks to the REAP Technical Assistance Grant from USDA, we are thrilled to be able to help YOUR small business, farm or ranch apply for funding free of charge to complete energy efficiency improvements or install renewable energy systems.
