Funding Notices: Funds Available for 2005

Rural Development announces the availability of money for many of its programs in the Federal Register, through a Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA). Each NOFA lists the application deadlines, eligibility requirements and places where you can get more help in applying for program dollars.

The notices listed here are PDF and text files. See our document accessibility page if you need help to use these. Depending on the speed of your internet connection and system, it may be a few minutes before large documents will be fully displayed by your browser.
