Community Food Project Grants Why This Resource The program provides one-time grants to nonprofit organizations to undertake Is Useful: comprehensive, multi-pronged responses to local food, farm, and nutrition issues. Eligibility: Nonprofit Organizations. Description: These grants are designed to increase food security in communities by coordinating the efforts of the whole food system, to assess the strengths, establish linkages, and create systems which will improve the self-reliance of community members. This form of self-sufficiency will be achieved by increasing each individual community's access to fresher, more nutritious food supplies and by promoting comprehensive responses to local food, farm, and nutrition issues. Activities include growing, processing, and marketing food, as well as improving the nutrition safety net, aiding food recovery and gleaning, and supporting nutrition education. Grant awards are funded from $10,000 to $250,000 with an annual total of $2.5 million, and require a dollar-for-dollar match in non-Federal funds (in-kind is allowable). Grants are from 1 to 3 years in duration. Best Practices: (More detailed best practices can be found at the program's web site.) The Tohono O'odham Community Food System, Tohono O'odham Community Action, in Sells, AZ used an $80,000 grant to develop and expand community gardens, organize a desert food collection program, re-develop traditional food-based farming practices, develop direct-to-customer and wholesale markets for traditional Tohono O'odham foods, initiate culturally sensitive nutrition education programs, and support develop- ment of agriculture-based micro-enterprise projects. The Community Enterprise and Food Security Project of the San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners, in San Francisco, CA, used a $145,000 grant to build crop-scale urban gardens on abandoned lots adjacent to public housing developments, and run youth job-training and employment programs at each of the sites. The Topeka Common Ground Project through the Kansas Rural Center, Inc., Whiting, KS used a $115,000 grant to promote sustainable farming practices, economic interdependency, youth leadership, community gardening, and agricultural entrepre- neurship. Deadlines: Grants applications are accepted during one application period per year, usually in late spring. Check with contacts below for update.
