About nutrition grants

Nutrition grants fund food access, nutrition education, food-bank and pantry operations, and healthy-eating programs for low-income and food-insecure communities. Funding comes from federal sources administered by the USDA, state health and agriculture agencies, and a wide range of health-focused and anti-hunger foundations. Hospital community-benefit programs and corporate giving also support food-access and nutrition-education initiatives.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money do nutrition & healthy eating grants award?

Of 278 grants listed, 4 accept applications on a rolling basis, 21 have a published upcoming deadline, 47 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 206 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site. Among dated deadlines, 71% fall in October–December.

What grants are available for nutrition programs?

Grants support food banks and pantries, nutrition education, healthy-food access in underserved areas, school and community garden programs, and produce-prescription and food-as-medicine initiatives. Funding spans federal food-and-nutrition programs administered through states, along with private foundation and corporate grants. Nonprofits, food banks, schools, clinics, and community coalitions are common applicants.

Who funds nutrition and food-access programs?

The USDA, through its Food and Nutrition Service, administers federal nutrition and food-access funding, much of which is distributed by state agencies and partners such as land-grant universities and health departments. Anti-hunger and health-focused foundations fund food-access and nutrition-education programs directly, and feeding networks support local food banks. Hospital community-benefit funds and corporate giving programs provide additional support for healthy-food initiatives.

How can a nonprofit apply for nutrition funding?

Identify whether your work fits federal food-and-nutrition priorities administered through your state agency, and watch for shifting program rules, since some federal nutrition-education funding has changed in recent years. Build proposals around measurable food-security or nutrition outcomes for a defined community. Diversify across anti-hunger foundations, feeding networks, and corporate giving so your program isn't dependent on any single source.
