The Maine Agricultural Promotion Assistance Matching Fund has been established to provide grants for promotional efforts designed to increase the demand for Maine agricultural products in existing markets and to identify new markets.
It is expected that the sum of $36,000 will be appropriated for distribution each fiscal year. The range of funding will be up to the 50% level and will be based primarily on projected benefits. No grant may exceed 50% of the cost of a promotional project and no grant may exceed 25% of the yearly fund total. Funds will be allocated on a fiscal year basis and projects should be designed to be completed within one thirty-six month period. For the fiscal years 1983/84 and 1984/85, applications will be accepted through March 31, 1985. For subsequent fiscal years, applications will be accepted from January 1st through March 31st. Applicants will be notified of the Commissioner's decision by May 1st of each year.
