Our new round of grant funding kicks off today! We’re pleased to offer both planning (up to $25k) and implementation (up to $250k) grants to community-led organizations, Tribal Nations, and community-based coalitions strengthening food systems and fostering the leadership and empowerment of Tribal, Indigenous, Black, Latinx, Asian, and immigrant communities in equitable food procurement. With these grants, Growing Justice Fund seeks to catalyze change that will deliver economic benefits to historically marginalized communities and help close the equity gap for smaller food producers and businesses — while contributing to wealth-building and cultural sustainability in their communities.
