This purpose of this form will help us to gather some basic information about your case, which will be used solely to put you in contact with cooperators of your choice in order to help you assess whether you are eligible for financial assistance under IRA Section 22007.

At your request, we will connect you with cooperators who provide technical assistance to help you determine if you might be eligible and if so, to prepare your claim and assemble documentation you may have to strengthen your case.

All those listed are cooperators or connected to cooperators with the US Department of Agriculture to implement this project. There is no charge for our assistance to you.
