About Foreign Agricultural Service
The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) funds and administers U.S. government programs that expand U.S. agricultural exports and strengthen foreign food systems by financing market development, technical assistance, and removal of trade barriers. FAS primarily awards cost-share grants to U.S.-based trade associations, cooperators, state departments of agriculture, and non‑profits to carry out international promotion, sanitary/phytosanitary (SPS) work, market assessments, and capacity building in emerging and established foreign markets. Its work is program-driven (MAP, EMP, FMD, TASC, AFTPP, etc.), with large program budgets and annual competitive cycles managed via Grants.gov and FAS notices.

Giving Approach
Programmatic, cost‑share grantmaking through annual competitive Notices (Grants.gov/FAS). Large program budgets with many awards (MAP and AFTPP in the hundreds of millions; EMP and TASC in the low millions). Typical per-award sizes vary by program (EMP up to $500K; MAP and FMD awards vary), applicants are U.S.-based organizations implementing activities overseas, and projects must generally benefit whole industries (not single companies).
