The MPCA has approximately $10 million available to support organics management infrastructure projects across the state that will expand infrastructure capacity for composting source-separated organic materials (SSOM) in Minnesota with a focus on wasted food and food scraps.
This grant program aims to reduce the amount of organic material being disposed of through landfilling or incineration by funding projects that expand composting capacity either through the creation of new compost infrastructure or the expansion of capacity within existing compost infrastructure.
Application deadline: April 15, 2026
Informational meeting: The MPCA will hold an informational webinar starting at 2 p.m. on February 11 to discuss this grant opportunity, the SWIFT process, and answer questions from participants.
