Funding Opportunity
This opportunity due date is November 7, 2010.
Grants are intended to help eligible private nonprofit entities in need of a one-time infusion of federal assistance to establish and carryout multipurpose community food projects. Projects are funded from $10,000 to $300,000 and from 1 to 3 years. These one-time grants require a dollar-for-dollar match in resources.
The CFPCGP is designed to:
• meet the needs of low-income people by increasing access to fresher, more nutritious food supplies;
• increase the self-reliance of communities in providing for their own food needs;
• promote comprehensive responses to local food, farm, and nutrition issues;
• meets specific state, local, or neighborhood food and agricultural needs for infrastructure improvement and development;
• plans for long-term solutions; and
• create innovative marketing activities that benefit both agricultural producers and low-income consumers.
