Don't miss your chance to apply for a Food Justice Mini Grant
|
|
Applications close Friday, July 22, 2022.
Food Justice Mini Grants support communities in their efforts to grow, sell, and eat healthy food. The program offers grants of up to $3,000 to support community-driven solutions led by those most negatively impacted by the food system.
Non-profits, schools, for-profit businesses, homeowner associations, faith-based groups, grassroots initiatives, and more are eligible to apply for a grant. Examples of funded projects could include:
- Innovative food production methods
- Fresh food markets or affordable food retail
- Workforce development in the food supply chain
- Low-cost home meal or grocery delivery services
- Community events centered on food systems or food justice
Last year, the City funded 20 organizations working on projects ranging from community-based “free fridges” to gardening workshops led by and for people of color. Any applicant that shares an intersectional lens and wants to build food justice in Austin is encouraged to apply.
