The LOR Foundation will begin accepting applications for its Field Work initiative on March 20, 2024. This year the initiative will provide funding for approximately 10 farmers and ranchers to implement innovative approaches to using water in agriculture. Farmers and ranchers in rural parts of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming are eligible for up to $10,000.
-
Who Can Apply: LOR’s Field Work initiative is open to farmers and ranchers in rural areas and on tribal lands in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Applicants must have independent authority to make changes to water use on the land.
-
What Can Be Funded: The foundation is most interested in novel, creative, or new ideas to address persistent challenges. These innovations must be entirely new technologies, products, and practices or highly creative ways of expanding and modifying an existing approach for a new purpose. Projects that improve outcomes in the following areas are eligible: water efficiency, water reliability, water quality, crop yield or crop diversification, and labor efficiency. Projects must be completed in 2024 and must include a commitment and plan for reporting learnings.
