Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA AMS TM IAHMP G 23 0018
The Indigenous Animals Grants Fiscal Year 2023 opportunity is a USDA grant program focused on strengthening tribal food systems by expanding or improving animal protein harvesting and processing in Indian Country. Formally called the Indigenous Animals Harvesting and Meat Processing Grant Program (IAG), it is administered by USDA Rural Development's Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBCS) in partnership with the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) and in consultation with the Office of Tribal Relations (OTR). The program was shaped by priorities tribal nations raised during USDA consultations in 2021 and 2022, with an emphasis on traditional harvesting approaches, support for indigenous animals, and development of community-based processing operations that increase local capacity and resilience in tribal foods supply chains.
At its core, every proposed project must have a primary purpose of expanding or enhancing animal protein processing capacity in Indian Country. That requirement is the central organizing principle of the funding, meaning applicants need to clearly connect their activities to tangible improvements in harvesting, handling, processing, or related infrastructure and operations that increase local processing ability. Within that main purpose, USDA allows tribes to include additional related activities in their project plans, as long as the overall project is clearly anchored in processing capacity improvements for tribal communities.
USDA also signals that it intends to fund a varied mix of projects rather than a single standard model. The agency is looking for geographic diversity across Indian Country, diversity in the indigenous animal species supported, diversity in processing models (including examples like mobile processing units and multi-tribal efforts), and diversity in project scale. This portfolio approach is meant to reflect different tribal priorities and circumstances, and to support multiple pathways for building indigenous foods economies and culturally grounded processing practices. Another stated benefit is that project results will help USDA learn more about processing and supply chain needs for species that are uncommon in other federal meat and poultry programs, generating data and experience that can inform future policy and program design.
