Funding-Kresge Foundation - Fresh, Local & Equitable: Food as a Creative Platform for Neighborhood Revitalization; January 15, 2016

Description

The Kresge Foundation is inviting grant proposals from nonprofit organizations for food-oriented initiatives that contribute to economic revitalization, cultural expression, and health in low-income communities. Through its Fresh, Local & Equitable: Food as a Creative Platform for Neighborhood Revitalization initiative, a collaboration between Kresge’s Arts & Culture and Health programs, the foundation will award up to twenty one-year planning grants of up to $75,000 each in the first quarter of 2016. Grants may support project management, partnership development, community engagement, strategic communications, evaluation, policy development, and other activities directly related to successful outcomes. Recipients will participate in a national learning network and also have the opportunity to apply for implementation grants.

The foundation is especially interested in neighborhood-scale projects that have been developed with strong community engagement and leadership, prioritize equity, involve multiple sectors and disciplines, and demonstrate a high degree of readiness to implement an integrated, cross-sectoral vision of food-oriented development.

Funds may not be used for capital construction costs, real estate acquisition, or the purchase of major equipment.

The foundation will host a webinar on December 7 at 1:00 P.M. (EST) to explain the grant opportunity and answer questions.

Closing Date:
