Corn Checkoff Value-Added Grants

The Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB) is reactivating its Value-Added Grant Program to provide financial assistance to farmer-owned cooperatives, businesses, groups and individuals interested in establishing value-added corn-based businesses.

Both new and established ventures are eligible for grants to pay for feasibility studies, business plan development, marketing plan development, engineering studies, legal fees and equity drives. Grants cannot be applied to business expansion costs.

Recipients can receive up to $25,000 but must match the ICPB contribution on a 50-50 basis.

The ICPB invests Iowa corn checkoff funds in research, education, and market development programs to create opportunities for long-term Iowa corn grower profitability.

Those interested in making a grant application should contact the Iowa Corn office at 515-225-9242 or visit www.iowacorn.org.
