Grants
Acuity Agriculture is here to help you secure funding.
Getting grants will allow you to carry out projects that will benefit your land. Acuity's products qualify for several grants and we can work with you to get these applications started or answer any questions. Learn more about opportunities below.
SGMA
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) enacted in 2014 requires that local Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) put forward groundwater sustainability plans for growers. Tracking water usage is going to become crucial.
To support this act, the Division of Regional Assistance in the Department of Water Resources (DWR) is providing funding through SGMA. There are over $150 million in funds available for projects.
Acuity Agriculture provides growers with the data needed to make the best irrigation choices and track their usage. This is invaluable as GSA's ask for grower input and request data as plans are created.
Round 1 applications open December 2021 and close January 2022.
SWEEP
State Water Efficiency & Enhancement Program (SWEEP) provides grants for implementing irrigation systems that reduce greenhouse gases and save water. A few eligible projects include low pressure irrigation systems, pump retrofits, and variable frequency drives.
There are $50 million in funds available for this program. Projects are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so fill out the application as soon as possible.
Applications are open now and close January 18, 2022.
