Details:
The UNFI Food Equity Project grant is just one part of the UNFI Food Equity Project’s mission. Together, UNFI Foundation can work to solve the problem of food insecurity. They are focused on building a better future from the ground up, starting in their backyards. Whether the organizations are newly established or have been around for generations, they will shed light on new ideas and help them grow into something transformative. Access to healthy food should be a fundamental right, and they are committed to doing their part and partnering to help create food equity for all.
Although annual grants have always been part of the initiatives, UNFI is taking it to the next level introducing a new $100,000 grant that will focus exclusively on advancing food equity in Rhode Island. They will partner with one or more local nonprofit organization, promoting food equity, eliminating hunger and improving public health to make meaningful change. Their aid is more than the grant dollars. They will support not only with financial assistance, but with access to internal expertise in logistics, transportation and more.
What will this grant equip you with?
- Financial assistance
- UNFI’s expertise and support

- A detailed description of your innovative food access solution and the desired impact
- An outline of how the grant will activate your solution that goes beyond financial assistance
- A recommendation on how else they can accelerate your nonprofit’s initiatives through the UNFI network and expertise
