Food and nutrition grants with open deadlines

103 currently open · refreshed daily

Food and nutrition funding flows mainly from USDA: community food projects, farm-to-school, SNAP outreach and education, and food-safety programs, with additional HHS money for nutrition in aging and early-childhood programs. Food banks, pantries, community gardens, and farm nonprofits are directly eligible for much of it. USDA is one of the friendlier agencies for first-time federal applicants — awards are often modest ($25k–$400k) with proportionate paperwork. Every open opportunity is listed below with live deadlines.
