Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN)
Funds state, tribal, local or regional networks that connect farmers, ranchers and other agricultural workers to stress assistance programs.
Applications come from a collaborative network or partnership rather than a single organisation applying alone, as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture. No cost-share or matching is required.
FRSAN funds a collaborative network connecting people in farming, ranching and other agriculture-related occupations to stress assistance resources. Eligible collaborations can include Indian tribes, State departments of agriculture, State cooperative extension services and nongovernmental organisations.
