June 30, 2025 — The USDA announced the cancelation of the July 1-September 30, 2025 application window.
December 19, 2024 — The USDA announced a pause in Inflation Reduction Act funded REAP applications [PDF] due to previously received applications requesting more than twice the amount of announced available funding. Applications submitted for the March 31, 2025 deadline are eligible for up to 25% of project costs through the Farm Bill portion of REAP grants. They anticipate accepting REAP IRA applications again on July 1, 2025.
