Agricultural Youth Grants I-Cash

The Agricultural Youth Grants program, offered by Iowa’s Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (I-CASH) at the University of Iowa, provides small grants to Iowa youth groups and organizations to develop creative projects that promote agricultural safety and prevent farm-related injuries and illnesses. Projects can include farm safety days, educational campaigns, safety demonstrations, distributing safety equipment, or creating safety materials.

The program also recognizes one project each year with an Outstanding Youth Grant Award, including a cash award and an opportunity to present the project at the Midwest Rural Agricultural Safety and Health Conference.
