I-CASH now accepting youth grant applications

Published on February 18, 2016

Iowa’s Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (I-CASH) annually designates funds for community grants to youth aimed at the prevention of farm-related injury.  Grants of $500 are available to decrease the risk of illness and injury due to farm hazard exposure.  Any youth organization in the state of Iowa is eligible to apply.

In addition, I-CASH awards a cash prize for the most outstanding project each year.  These winners are invited to the annual Midwest Rural Agricultural Safety and Health conference, held in November, to present their project and network with professionals in agricultural safety and health.

Application deadline is March 1, 2016. You can find the application materials here: https://www.public-health.uiowa.edu/icash/programs/agricultural-youth-grants/youth-injury-prevention-grant-application
