CDFA COVID-19 Grant Program Activities Update

Dear Colleagues,

CDFA has posted the following on their COVID-19 website:  https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/coronavirus/

Grant Program Activities
  • CDFA recognizes that due to COVID-19, grant requirements such as outreach events, field days, etc. will be delayed or otherwise affected. CDFA will work with grantees to the extent possible to adjust the Scope of Work and timelines. For example, some of our grant programs, such as our dairy digester grants, are allowing flexibility to satisfy community engagement/outreach obligations by hosting online events instead of physical events.
