Funding-Food and Farm Communications Fund

Description

The Food and Farm Communications Fund was established in 2012 to help educate the public about the sustainable food and agriculture field. In 2013, the fund awarded grants totaling $349,000 in support of  efforts to help the media better understand and report on the sustainable food movement; media and advertising training for farmers; and the creation of related television, online news, and documentary programming.

The current funding cycle — a collaboration between the Grace Communications Foundation, the11th Hour Project, and the McKnight Foundation — will support projects to expand the communications capacity of sustainable food and agriculture education and public policy organizations.

Grants of up to $100,000 will be awarded for specifically targeted media/communications efforts, projects that aim to remove the "roadblocks" to better communications aimed at affecting consumers and public opinion, and/or media and communications campaigns that address specific public policy issues.
