Beehive Grant Fund–Notice to Applicants

The Virginia General Assembly appropriated $125,000 for this program for Fiscal Year 2013 (July 2012 to June 2013) and $125,000 for Fiscal Year 2014 (July 2013 to June 2014).  However, during the upcoming legislative session, the General Assembly will consider proposed amendments to the state budget that include the possible deferral of funding for the beehive grant fund program.  In spite of this funding uncertainty, VDACS will proceed to accept applications in accordance with the guidelines and requirements for qualification under this program but cautions applicants that they may or may not receive payments depending on the outcome of the state budget negotiations.  A final determination on applications cannot be made until the state budget is finalized sometime in April 2013.
