The Virginia Wine Board is seeking pre-proposals from interested parties to fund projects focused on research, education, and marketing initiatives that support the growth and development of the Virginia wine industry. Applicants should review the specific funding priorities outlined in the attached document, as only selected pre-proposals will be invited to submit full proposals for further consideration. Submission deadlines are set for November 13, 2024, and while an invitation to submit a full proposal indicates interest, it does not guarantee funding. The contract, managed by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, has a funding range between $500,000 and $2,000,000, and interested parties can contact Lisa Cumming via email or phone for additional information. The opportunity emphasizes strategic investment in projects aligned with the Board’s goals to enhance Virginia’s wine industry through targeted research, education, and marketing efforts.
