PROGRAMS & TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

Technical Assistance

Rural Coalition / Coalición Rural provides grant-funded, no-cost technical assistance to farmers, ranchers, farmworkers, tribal producers, and community-based organizations across the United States.

We support beginning and socially disadvantaged producers, immigrant farmers, specialty crop growers, and small-scale operators in accessing USDA programs, strengthening their operations, and building long-term sustainability.

Our hands-on assistance helps producers navigate federal resources, improve financial and conservation practices, and build resilient farm and ranch businesses.

Through trusted, community-based support, we help rural producers secure resources, protect their land, and strengthen their livelihoods — at no cost to them.
