Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA AMS TM BPMGP G 25 0001
The Bison Production and Marketing Grant Program (BPMGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service designed to strengthen the U.S. bison industry by supporting projects that improve both production and marketing of bison and bison products. The program is geared toward practical, industry-relevant work that helps bison producers and related organizations solve clearly defined problems, build business and resource capacity, and develop innovative approaches that address long-term needs rather than short-term fixes. Competitive projects are expected to be well grounded in real conditions in the bison sector, with a clear explanation of the need being addressed and a plan that translates into measurable, on-the-ground benefits.
A key feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on broader geographic relevance and collaboration. Strong applications should address issues that matter across a wide and relevant coverage area instead of focusing narrowly on a small local concern, unless that local concern has clear implications that can be replicated or scaled across other regions. USDA is also signaling that partnerships are important, especially collaboration among bison industry organizations and Native American tribes, and that applicants should actively avoid duplicating work already being done elsewhere. In other words, proposals should show awareness of existing efforts, explain how the project complements them, and ideally coordinate with other groups to amplify results and use resources efficiently.
The program is offered under Funding Opportunity Number USDA AMS TM BPMGP G 25 0001 and is categorized under the Agriculture funding activity area, with CFDA number 10.192. The funding instrument is a grant, and the agency expects to make a small number of larger awards rather than many small awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $2,000,000, and the agency anticipates making 2 awards, which suggests a competitive process focused on high-impact, well-structured projects.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status), and other eligible entities as defined in the full request for applications. The original application deadline listed for this opportunity is March 26, 2025, and the opportunity was created on January 16, 2025. Applicants are encouraged to review the Request for Applications, particularly section 3.0, for the detailed program requirements, expectations around project scope and partnerships, and any specific rules tied to application content, evaluation criteria, and allowable activities.
Overall, BPMGP is aimed at advancing the bison industry through coordinated, outcomes-driven projects that can demonstrate tangible benefits for producers and the broader supply chain, whether through improved production practices, enhanced market development, better business and resource planning, or new strategies that help the industry meet persistent structural challenges over time.Apply for USDA AMS TM BPMGP G 25 0001
