Summary
This grant is designed to support local, regenerative food systems across much of the United States. It offers modest yet meaningful funding—typically between $15,000 and $30,000—to organizations that are embedded in their communities and working to strengthen access to fresh, organic, and locally grown food.
The primary focus is on community-rooted initiatives that address inequities in food access. Eligible applicants include nonprofit entities with 501(c)(3) status (or equivalent), community-led coalitions, and occasionally early-stage or pilot groups showing strong local impact (rahuntfdn.org). The grant supports a wide range of activities, such as farming education, gardening workshops, seed saving, agroecological approaches, and ethical animal stewardship. Projects that blend ecological regeneration—think soil health and pollinator conservation—with community empowerment are especially valued .
Available to organizations in most U.S. states, this grant aims to invest in initiatives where modest funding makes a real difference, enhancing capacity without fostering dependency. In most years, five or more grants are awarded, totaling over $100,000. Funding is often granted as unrestricted operating support or targeted project support, with periodic multi‑year awards based on performance and alignment. Projects are evaluated on their ability to advance nutritional equity, boost community leadership, and implement sustainable practices.
