This report identifies every open USDA Agriculture and Rural Development grant opportunity closing within the next 30 days, combined with a historically-grounded forecast of programs likely to open in the coming 30–60 day window. It is designed to give grant writers, nonprofit development staff, rural organizations, and agricultural cooperatives a single weekly briefing they can act on immediately.

How to Use This Report

Step 1 — Check for urgent items. Rows marked ▲ close within 7 days. These require immediate action. Confirm eligibility, gather required documents, and visit Grants.gov to download the application package.

Step 2 — Review the 30-day pipeline. The active opportunities table lists every qualifying USDA grant sorted by deadline. Use the Eligible column to filter by your organization type — nonprofits, cooperatives, tribal colleges, and state agencies all have distinct opportunity pools.

Step 3 — Plan ahead with predictions. Page 3 lists programs that have historically opened during this calendar window but have not yet posted this cycle. Add these to your grant calendar as watch items and begin preparing narratives now.

Step 4 — Study the seasonal calendar. The Federal Grant Calendar on page 3 shows the monthly posting rhythm across all 8 federal categories. Agriculture peaks March–April. Interior and Tribal grants flood in July–August. Defense spikes in May.

Why GovProcure

This R-Series report distills active federal grant opportunities from Grants.gov — what is open now, what is closing soon, and which recurring programs are about to come around again. It turns a sprawling grant portal into a clear, deadline-aware calendar you can plan against.

Why GovProcure is the asset for federal data. The data is public — the work is not. SAM.gov, USASpending.gov, Grants.gov and the IRS Business Master File each live behind separate portals, formats and search limits. GovProcure ingests all four (over 3.2 million records, refreshed nightly), reconciles them, and hands you finished intelligence every Sunday morning. No exports to merge, no dashboards to build, no four-to-six hours a week lost to manual searching.

That is the edge: speed, coverage and clarity your competitors do not have. Raw federal search tells you what exists; GovProcure tells you what it means — incumbents up for recompete, set-asides you qualify for, grant cycles about to open, and the agencies actually spending in your space. Every figure traces back to its official source, so you can verify before you act. One subscription, every database, delivered — for less than the cost of a single hour of an analyst's time.
