Summary

This grant opportunity provides funding for schools and educational programs aiming to enhance food literacy and hands-on learning experiences for students. Funding is intended to support initiatives that allow students to engage with growing, preparing, and understanding food within their local communities. Programs may focus on outdoor or indoor gardening, culinary skills, nutrition education, experiential learning through field trips, or culturally relevant activities that foster awareness of local food systems.



The intent of the funds is to help schools develop programs that provide meaningful learning opportunities, promote healthy eating habits, and encourage students to connect with their local environment. The grants are designed to be flexible, enabling schools to implement creative projects that align with educational objectives and community priorities. Projects that demonstrate innovation, student engagement, and measurable learning outcomes are preferred.


This grant is available to K–12 schools, including public, independent, and First Nations schools. Applicants must be educational institutions or school-based programs; individuals are not eligible. The program emphasizes inclusivity and supports a wide range of projects that can serve diverse student populations and enhance the overall educational experience.


Grant amounts vary based on project scope, with individual schools able to receive funding sufficient to launch or expand small- to medium-scale initiatives. Applications are reviewed on an annual cycle, providing schools multiple opportunities to access funds and implement programs within the academic year. Priority is given to projects that foster collaboration among students, educators, and the broader community, while promoting sustainable and impactful educational outcomes.
