CanGrow Grant Informational Session

The Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is pleased to invite you to attend the CanGrow Grant Informational Session, an online webinar designed to provide an overview of the upcoming CanGrow grant opportunity.

The CanGrow grant program includes two separate funding opportunities: (1) CanGrow farmer training grants, which support organizations, schools, and businesses that help farmers build skills, knowledge, and capacity to succeed in the industry; and (2) CanGrow farmer loan grants, which provide funding to nonprofit corporations to offer low-interest loans to eligible farmers entering or expanding within the legal cannabis industry.

This session will share important details about what applicants can expect once the Request for Proposals (RFP) opens, including eligibility, program goals, and key considerations for preparing to apply.

Event Details

Date: Wednesday, November 6, 2025
Time: Noon – 1 p.m.
Location: Microsoft Teams

During this session, participants will:

• Gain an understanding of the CanGrow grant program and its objectives.
• Learn what to expect when the RFP is released.
• Receive guidance on next steps for potential applicants.

Please note that this session is informational only and is not a technical assistance session. OCM will host separate technical assistance sessions during the RFP period to provide step-by-step application guidance and answer specific questions from applicants.

Important information:

• Registration is required and limited to 1,000 participants. We encourage interested individuals and organizations to register early to secure their place.
• If you are unable to attend the live session, a recording will be made available on the OCM website after the event.

We encourage you to share this invitation with colleagues, community partners, and other interested parties who may benefit from learning about the CanGrow grant opportunity. Your support in spreading the word ensures that more organizations and individuals have access to these resources.
