Food Justice Call for Proposals – Feb 20

Posted by Food Fit Philly on February 19, 2019

Supporting and Building Food Justice in Philadelphia!

We just launched our open call for food justice projects to fund and welcome you to send in a Letter of Interest (LOI). See details and links below! UPDATE: Deadline has been extended. Applications are due February 20, 2019. Keep scrolling for even more updates.

Food justice means communities can exercise their right to grow, sell, and eat healthy food (from JustFood). We have up to $200,000 available to fund projects that take place between July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020. There will be the the potential for renewed funding after that period.

This open call for ideas is for everyone. Apply if you are a person, organization, business or collective that wants to build food justice in Philadelphia and embodies a health justice approach. If you have been working in food access for a long time and need some support to scale up and take the next step, we want to hear from you. If you are a community organizer or capacity builder and see a clear way to include healthy food for the future, we want to hear from you. If you are a budding entrepreneur with a fresh idea, we want to hear from you. If you make, grow, sell, or eat food, we want to hear from you.

Preference will be given to proposals from community-based and/or people of color-led organizations that aim to serve the community’s needs. Proposals should include projects that are either deeply-rooted in a neighborhood, change systems, OR have a broad citywide reach (or the potential to be scaled citywide).
