School Breakfast Collaboration Grant

The School Breakfast Collaboration Grant, offered by Project Bread, aims to assist Massachusetts schools in developing and expanding breakfast programs to combat hunger. This funding supports schools in implementing alternative breakfast models, such as Breakfast in the Classroom and Second Chance Breakfast, while also enhancing menu options and accessibility. By collaborating closely with Project Bread's Child Nutrition staff, schools can effectively address challenges and improve their breakfast offerings, ensuring that no child goes hungry.

Project Bread offers a variety of funding opportunities for anti-hunger organizations and food assistance providers in Massachusetts throughout the year to further our shared mission. We also share relevant grant opportunities from external organizations to further assist our child nutrition partners.
In close collaboration with Project Bread’s Child Nutrition staff, this grant program will support schools in designing and implementing a new or significantly expanded breakfast strategy. Schools should choose this option if they are seeking increased consultation from Project Bread throughout the grant period to support the development and execution of an alternative breakfast model, implement the BATB strategy, and/or address specific challenges hindering breakfast program improvements.
For the purposes of this grant, a new BATB Program refers to a school starting a BATB model (Breakfast in the Classroom, Grab & Go Breakfast, Second Chance Breakfast, and hybrid combinations of these three models) for the first time.For the purposes of this grant, a significantly expanded BATB Program is defined as: adding new and improved menu items to be served in the BATB program, addition of breakfast service times (such as adding a Second Chance Breakfast time later in the morning), and increasing accessibility of breakfast to students (such as adding service locations outside the cafeteria).
