About hunger grants

Hunger grants fund programs that fight food insecurity, including food banks, meal programs, mobile distributions, and initiatives that connect people to nutrition assistance. USDA is the primary federal funder through programs like The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Community Food Projects Competitive Grant Program. The Feeding America network of food banks and corporate funders such as the Walmart Foundation also direct significant grant funding to anti-hunger organizations.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow hunger grants for nonprofits down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

What hunger grants are available?

Funding supports food banks and pantries, congregate and home-delivered meals, mobile food distribution, food rescue, and programs that link people to nutrition benefits. USDA programs such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Community Food Projects Competitive Grant Program are leading federal sources. The Feeding America network and corporate foundations provide additional grants to anti-hunger nonprofits.

Who funds anti-hunger programs?

USDA is the dominant federal funder, supporting emergency food through TEFAP and local food systems through the Community Food Projects Competitive Grant Program administered by its National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The Feeding America network distributes food and grants to member food banks and partner agencies, and corporate funders like the Walmart Foundation fund food rescue and infrastructure. State agencies administer many of the federal dollars.

How do anti-hunger nonprofits access USDA funding?

Much USDA food assistance, such as TEFAP, flows through state agencies that contract with food banks and distribution partners rather than funding small nonprofits directly. Competitive programs like the Community Food Projects grant are applied for at the federal level and tend to favor projects that strengthen local food systems. Partnering with your regional food bank or state TEFAP agency is often the most practical entry point.
