Food Loss and Waste Training and Technical Assistance Grants

The application deadline is June 28, 2024.
The Southern region SARE program issued a national call for proposals for Food Loss and Waste Training and Technical Assistance Grants. The purpose of this one-time grant opportunity is to implement outreach, training, and technical assistance efforts to build capacity for food loss and waste initiatives. Two to four projects, capped at $1 million per proposal with an expected grant size of $500,000, are anticipated to be funded per SARE region: Southern SARE, North Central SARE, Northeast SARE, and Western SARE, so that regional priorities for addressing food loss and waste can be augmented, while allowing for national coordination and impacts. A total of $8 million is being funded nationally. Eligible entities whose goals and activities are centered on reducing Food Loss and Waste are invited to apply. This can include, but is not limited to, tribal organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs); community organizations; gleaning and food recovery organizations; public food program service providers; and academic institutions. Applications from organizations that address food insecurity in rural, tribal, and underserved communities are encouraged.
