There is a funding opportunity available that supports projects focused on improving access to fresh, locally sourced food in educational or community settings.

These may involve hands-on activities, outreach, or system improvements that benefit broader communities over time.

Those considering this opportunity are encouraged to work closely with others in their region or field and to outline goals that align with broader themes of access, health, and sustainability.
Overall, this funding aims to support creative ideas that help communities grow stronger through food-related efforts that are both practical and impactful.
