The Virginia Wine Board (VWB) is soliciting pre-proposals to fund research, education, and marketing projects that enhance the Virginia wine industry. Projects are funded by the wine liter tax and are approved through an evaluation process. A pre-proposal system has been implemented by the Virginia Wine Board with the goal to increase the number of applicants as well as streamline the proposal preparation and review process.
Pre-proposals will be evaluated on their relevance to the Virginia wine industry strategic plan, “Vision 2020”. This process is open to applicants within as well as outside the state of Virginia. Pre-proposals will be reviewed by the Wine Board and selected proposals will be invited to submit full proposals. An invitation to submit a full proposal does not guarantee funding.
