Unlock Your 2025 Solar Windfall: Hidden USDA Grant Awaits!

Dear Business Leader,

Between now and March 31, 2025, an incredible opportunity is knocking: the USDA is accepting applications for the REAP Farm Grant.

Here’s the kicker—you don’t need to be a farmer to claim this free money.

If your business is located in a REAP-designated area, you’re already on the playing field. And here’s another secret: rural areas make up most of the U.S., so the odds are in your favor.

Almost all small businesses in the United States of America can get "free money" from Uncle Sam.

This is not a drill, my friends. If you’re a small business owner, this grant could mean tens of thousands—if not hundreds of thousands—of dollars towards installing solar energy systems. As a mentor and consigliere to my son’s business, Project SunRize, I’ve seen firsthand how this works. His firm recently filed IRA REAP grant applications for major energy users, aiming for a piece of the $200 million pie available for a 50% grant.

But here’s the catch: there’s $400 million in applications chasing that $200 million pool. That’s stiff competition. Now let’s talk strategy.

Why the REAP Farm Grant Is a Game Changer

The REAP Farm Grant is lesser known but equally, if not more, powerful. While it covers 25% of your system’s cost, it’s a hidden gem with much less competition.

The magic?

You can stack this grant with other incentives, including up to a 50% federal tax credit (yes, you read that right—free money on top of free money).

And here’s where it gets even better: if you can’t use the tax credit, it’s fungible—you can sell it for cash. That means dollars in your pocket, plain and simple.

Add this to potential state-level incentives and programs like SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Certificates), and you’re looking at a system that could be entirely paid for.

The Trump Card: Enhanced TCJA Benefits

We all know tax laws ebb and flow, but the smart money says former President Trump is likely to enhance TCJA benefits for small businesses, making this an even bigger win. Stack that with these grants and credits, and you’re not just installing solar—you’re leveling up your bottom line.

Who Should Apply?

This isn’t just for farmers.

It’s for anyone running a small liquor store, a medium-sized factory, or any small business with a location in a rural area (remember, that’s most of the U.S.).

If your electric bill is sky-high, you’re a perfect candidate. The government wants businesses that will make a dent in energy consumption, so saving lots of energy is key.

Here’s another insider tip: the USDA wants to back prosperous businesses. If your company’s financials are strong and your operations are humming, your chances of approval skyrocket.

What’s the Catch? There Isn’t One!

This is free money with no gimmicks.

The USDA isn’t asking for anything extraordinary.

They’re looking for solid businesses that will help make America greener and more energy-efficient.

Act Now—Here’s How

Time is ticking, and these grants will vanish faster than you can say “solar savings.” Don’t wait. If you’re intrigued—and you should be—send me a DM on LinkedIn. I’ll personally connect you with the right team to start your application process. My son supports my Church and Ministry and I am here to help support his green efforts.

Imagine this: not only will you lower your energy costs and boost your bottom line, but you’ll also become a pioneer in renewable energy, setting your business apart in a rapidly evolving world.

Don’t Miss This Golden Opportunity

Opportunities like this don’t come often. The REAP Farm Grant, combined with tax credits and other incentives, could change the game for your business. It’s free money. Don’t leave it on the table.

Take the first step toward a brighter, greener, and more profitable 2025.

Here’s to a Happy New Year filled with savings, success, and solar-powered growth!

Until next time.

Stay well. Swim strong!

David

One More Thing . . .

As I recently retired as CEO of Project SunRize, I remain a trusted consigliere to my son, Evan, who now leads the company with the same dedication to excellence. Project SunRize is proudly donating 3% of all profits from commercial solar construction to The Church of Unity and 3% to The Council For Unity.

JUST REMEMBER—100% of the cost for most solar energy systems can be covered by federal benefits (in most, but not all cases)!

Let Project SunRize prove to you it’s free!

Helping Project SunRize helps my church and also helps prevent violence in New York City Schools (via Council For Unity). If you know anyone who’s considering going solar, refer them to Project SunRize.
