The LRAD Calculator

 

The LRAD calculator can also be found under in the "Publications" menu item by selecting "Land Redistribution" from the drop down menu.

 

 

LRAD Calculator Explanation:

The primary question asked by people applying for grant funding is ‘How much will I qualify for?' 

 

This is not an easy question to answer when considering LRAD, as the grant amount is dependant on 3 variables or forms of ‘own contribution'.  The grant amount increases on a sliding-scale based on the amount of ‘own contribution' brought to the project by the applicants.

 

The types of ‘own contribution' are as follows:

 

1. Labour or Sweat Equity  -  Each applicant automatically contributes a once of amount of R 5 000.00 which will qualify him / her for an LRAD grant of R 20 000.00
2. Assets  -  These need to be relevant to the proposed agricultural enterprise eg:  vehicles, stock, implements.
3. Cash - This can be available capital or in the form of a loan.

 

The provided ‘LRAD calculator' should assist in determining the amount of grant and possible loan capital that will be required for the project.

 

Complete the yellow portions or fields of the table.  The first section relates to project costs namely:

• Land Price
• Possible development costs
• Production units to be acquired
• Production costs

The following section refers to your ‘own contribution' namely:

• Cash value in group
• Asset value in group
• Number of beneficiaries in group

 

If a particular field is not applicable, leave it blank.

 

On completion of the yellow fields the table will automatically calculate the LRAD grant and possible loan amount that your project application could qualify for.
