About food security grants

Food security grants fund initiatives that improve reliable access to affordable, nutritious food, including local food systems, community agriculture, food distribution, and programs linking residents to nutrition resources. USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture funds this work through the Community Food Projects Competitive Grant Program, which brings food-system stakeholders together to address food-security needs. Feeding America, foundations, and community funders also invest in food-security solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What food security grants are available?

Grants support local and regional food systems, community gardens and urban agriculture, food distribution and rescue, nutrition education, and projects that improve access to healthy food in underserved areas. USDA's Community Food Projects Competitive Grant Program is a leading federal source, alongside other USDA food and nutrition programs. Foundations and the Feeding America network fund complementary food-security work.

Who funds food security initiatives?

USDA is the primary federal funder, especially through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Community Food Projects Competitive Grant Program, which targets food-security and local food-system improvements. The Feeding America network, community foundations, and corporate funders such as the Walmart Foundation also support food-security programs. State agencies administer many federal nutrition dollars.

What kinds of projects do food security grants prioritize?

Federal programs like Community Food Projects favor initiatives that build self-reliant local food systems, meet the food needs of low-income communities, and bring multiple food-system stakeholders together. Strong proposals usually show community partnerships, measurable improvements in food access, and a path to sustainability beyond the grant period. Demonstrating local need with data helps applications stand out.
