REAP Grants & Loans

The USDA REAP grant program provides grant funding for for-profit entities of up to 25% of project cost or loan guarantees up to 75% of the project cost.  REAP includes renewable energy systems from solar. REAP is run by the US Dept of Agriculture through their state offices.  Grants are awarded on a competitive basis, for differing amounts of the total system price, up to a maximum of 25%    

To determine whether your farm or small business is qualified to apply for REAP, it must fall within one of these two categories:

1. “An agricultural producer with at least 50% of gross income coming from agricultural operations”, or
2. A small business in an eligible community.”

REAP grants are considered taxable income by the IRS.
