Deadline: 24-Jun-22
Do you or someone you know work with a non-profit organization that is considering a new project in food justice, food security, food education or related areas? If yes, then apply for Seedling Grants Program!
Through the Co-op Seedling Grant program, City Market grants funding to projects from Vermont non-profit organizations whose work strengthens their local food system. The Seedling Grants will be the 50% Rally for Change partner for four separate months in FY22 & FY23 to fund this year’s Grants Program. There are, of course, many interpretations of “strengthening the local food system.” Rather than narrowly defining this for applicants, they want to leave room for creativity and new ideas. Please make sure to articulate your interpretation within your application.
Funding Information
Grant requests can be submitted for projects (or portions of projects) totaling $500 to $7,500.
Criteria
- Grants will be reviewed by a committee of City Market Members and staff. This committee will then make a recommendation for grant awards to City Market’s Board of Directors. Final approval is at the discretion of City Market’s Board. The Board will review the recommendations at a fall 2022 meeting.
- Grant applications that are not submitted, fully completed by the deadline will not be considered. Postmark dates do not count as receipt dates for this process.
