U.S. Department of the Treasury / State ABLE Programs
ABLE Accounts
ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) accounts are tax-advantaged savings accounts that allow individuals with qualifying disabilities to save money without losing eligibility for federal means-tested benefits such as SSI and Medicaid, up to a $100,000 balance. Annual contributions up to the gift tax exclusion ($18,000 in 2024) can come from the account owner, family, and friends; withdrawals for qualified disability expenses (housing, education, transportation, health) are tax-free. Starting January 1, 2026, the age-of-onset limit expands from before age 26 to before age 46.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP)
ACEP helps landowners, land trusts, and other entities protect, restore, and enhance wetlands and preserve working agricultural lands through conservation easements. The program pays landowners fair market value for voluntarily limiting development and other uses that are incompatible with agricultural production or wetland conservation. Easements are permanent and run with the land regardless of future ownership.
USDA Rural Development
Agricultural Microenterprise Development Program
This program provides grants to microenterprise development organizations that support small agricultural businesses and farms with 10 or fewer employees in rural areas. Funds support technical assistance, training, and microloans for small farm operations and food-related rural microenterprises.

Administration for Community Living, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Assistive Technology Act Programs
The Assistive Technology Act funds a program in every state and territory to increase access to assistive technology (AT) devices and services for individuals with disabilities of all ages and disability types. State AT programs offer device demonstration centers, short-term device loan programs, device reutilization programs that redistribute pre-owned equipment at little or no cost, and alternative financing programs with low-interest loans to help people purchase AT. No single application or income threshold applies nationally — services vary by state program.
USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture
Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program
BFRDP funds organizations to develop and offer education, mentoring, and technical assistance programs for beginning farmers and ranchers with 10 or fewer years of experience. Programs help new agricultural producers develop the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to establish and grow successful farm operations. Priority is given to programs serving veterans, socially disadvantaged, and immigrant farmers.
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Commodity Supplemental Food Program
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) improves the health of low-income seniors aged 60 and older by supplementing their diets with monthly packages of nutritious USDA-purchased foods such as canned fruits and vegetables, cheese, pasta, peanut butter, canned juice, and dry milk or cereal. The program operates through approximately 35 states and several Indian Tribal Organizations, distributing food through local agencies, food banks, and senior centers. Waiting lists exist in many areas due to high demand.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)
CSP rewards farmers and ranchers who maintain high levels of conservation performance and take on additional stewardship activities across their entire operation. Annual payments compensate producers for maintaining existing conservation systems and adopting new activities that address priority resource concerns. Contracts run for five years and are renewed based on continued performance.
Fair Food Network (USDA-supported)
Double Up Food Bucks
Double Up Food Bucks is a nutrition incentive program that matches SNAP dollars spent on fruits and vegetables at participating farmers markets and, in some states, grocery stores and co-ops — effectively doubling the purchasing power of SNAP recipients for fresh, locally grown produce. Participants earn matching tokens or digital credits on a dollar-for-dollar basis, with daily or seasonal limits varying by location. The program is funded through USDA Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) grants and operates in over 25 states.
USDA Farm Service Agency
Emergency Livestock Assistance Program (ELAP)
ELAP provides emergency assistance to eligible livestock, honeybee, and farm-raised fish producers who suffer losses due to disasters not covered by other FSA programs. Covered losses include feed and grazing losses, livestock death losses, and costs associated with transporting water during drought. Producers must report losses to their local FSA office within 30 days of the disaster.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
EQIP provides financial and technical assistance to farmers and ranchers to implement conservation practices that improve soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat on working agricultural land. Payments cover a portion of the costs for installing conservation systems such as cover crops, nutrient management plans, and irrigation efficiency. Priority is given to projects addressing resource concerns in high-priority watersheds.
USDA Farm Service Agency
Farm Storage Facility Loan Program
The Farm Storage Facility Loan Program provides low-interest financing to build or upgrade on-farm storage and handling facilities for eligible commodities including grains, hay, fruits, vegetables, and aquaculture products. Loans help farmers reduce post-harvest losses and improve marketing flexibility by storing crops until prices improve. Terms range from 3 to 12 years depending on facility type.
USDA Agricultural Marketing Service
Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP)
FMPP provides competitive grants to support the development, improvement, and expansion of direct producer-to-consumer markets such as farmers markets, roadside stands, community supported agriculture programs, agritourism activities, and online sales. Projects must directly benefit agricultural producers and help them access new markets. Grants are capped at $500,000 and do not require matching funds.
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations
The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) provides monthly packages of USDA-purchased nutritious foods to income-eligible Native American households living on or near federally recognized Indian reservations and in Oklahoma. The program offers an alternative to SNAP and is distributed by Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) or state agencies, with packages tailored to reflect cultural food preferences. FDPIR serves approximately 90,000 people per month at over 100 distribution sites.

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) provides free fresh and dried fruits and vegetables to elementary school students outside of regular school meal service at selected high-poverty schools, helping children build healthier eating habits and expand their knowledge of diverse produce. Schools with the highest percentages of students enrolled in free and reduced-price meal programs are prioritized for selection by state agencies. The program operates in all 50 states and US territories.
