Summary

A new funding opportunity is available to support initiatives aimed at strengthening regional food systems and advancing value-added agriculture in underserved communities. This grant is designed to encourage innovation and development within local and regional food markets. It is primarily open to nonprofit organizations, small businesses, agricultural producers, and food-focused community groups.. The grant supports efforts that enhance food processing, distribution, and infrastructure, with a special focus on reaching populations with limited access to healthy, locally produced foods.


Eligible projects may include equipment purchases, facility upgrades, feasibility studies, and capacity-building activities. Emphasis is placed on proposals that promote sustainability, economic equity, and access to culturally relevant foods. The intent is to increase market opportunities for historically marginalized farmers and food producers, while also improving food system resiliency in the face of economic or environmental challenges.


Grant awards vary in size and are intended to serve both start-up initiatives and the expansion of existing programs. Applicants should demonstrate a strong community focus and the potential for long-term impact. This opportunity is especially suitable for those looking to bridge gaps in food accessibility and enhance collaboration among local food enterprises.
